Tommy Lee Jones in The Client
The Big Picture An adaptation of the best-selling thriller novel written by John Grisham, 1994's The Client is a gripping saga of struggle, revenge, and death. The film embraces the story's bleak storyline of children being chased down by the mob after witnessing a mob attorney commit suicide. Tommy Lee Jones breaks bad in the movie as a false hero, portraying a greedy attorney who cares more about fame than the boys' safety.
U.S. Attorney Roy Foltrigg, played by Jones, also comes after Mark and his family to find out where the senator's body is. Roy and his corrupt goons try to get Mark to confess to where the body is with cheap tricks, and without offering protection of any kind. Not even informing him that he can have a lawyer, and threatening him with jail time if he doesn't talk, Mark hires newly minted attorney, Reggie Love.
Jones is pitch-perfect as a politician, walking a tightrope between satire and realism as a bible-quoting man, feigning justice to get ahead. As he cares about his own image more than actually helping the people he’s sworn to serve, the movie carries a relevancy in a time when politicians' indiscretions flood our news daily.
