Superb drama...
By Michael Oglesby from Norwich, Norfolk , 03 Mar 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Another John Grisham novel turned into a movie. The Rainmaker is superb in contrast with A Time To Kill and The Client. Matt Damon is just great, on the same par as he was in Good Will Hunting. Danny DeVito is funny, which give the film life. Danny Glover plays the Judge in his no bullsh|t attitude, which is great. There are loads of other stars in this movie. The DVD is a let down though. No extras of any kind. There are other languages, French and Spanish. There are multiple subtitles as well. It's in Widescreen in 5.1 English sound.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Burnhamite (379 reviews) from BURNHAM , 04 Apr 2013Francis Ford Coppola's unique skills as a director are ably explained in the bonus section of this disc. Bringing together an all star cast he has succeeded in making a suberb tale by John Grisham into an excellent movie- Was this review helpful to you?

classic Grisham
By denis007 (134 reviews) , 17 Jul 2012Worth watching it! Superb acting by De Vito, Voigt and Damon. Suspens throughout the movie is present. Unexpected ending. All these make it worthwhile watching it!- Was this review helpful to you?

Classic Grisham
By andymos (64 reviews) from worcestershire , 21 Dec 2011I'm a great John Grisham fan and I haven't read this one yet, but if as usual the book is better than the film, I'm already looking forward to it. This is a classical David v Goliath courtroom drama with great performances from perennial bad guy Jon Voight and Matt Damon as 'David', Danny DeVito as Danny DeVito and Danny Glover as the judge. A typical Grisham story, highly recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?

Important Legal Drama
By Niskin (50 reviews) from Cambridge , 08 Nov 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
This is an important legal drama; it is in itself a gripping story, but more significant is what it has to say about the U.S. healthcare system and the corruption of powerful insurance companies, perhaps especially in the poorer areas of the American south.- Was this review helpful to you?

Definitely worth a watch
By a customer , 26 Oct 2011Best film I have seen in a long time, glad I had a look at previous reviews. Got to love a bit of Danny DeVito, he is great in the film.- Was this review helpful to you?
