– FilmSack Edition
Opener: Abbey, wait.. I haven’t even whispered you the best part yet! …I signed us up for a Dianetics class! Oh great…now she’s running away. Hold on, what do I care. I’m great at running. Hey everybody! Look at me! I’m running! Hey, do you guys hear that….it sounds like someone is playing a piano. I mean like for 2 and a half hours. Like it’s the only instrument in our film arsenal.
Tom Cruise, Lawyer, Firm, Mitch, Abby, Harvard, Law, Run,
Twitter: The Firm (1993) Taking the bar exam would be more entertaining than this movie… and shorter.
