"The Firm", which is apparently based on the book of the same name which I have never read, has an great story. At least, that's what made me interested in seeing it in the first place. Add that to fact that I love thrillers, and renting this movie was kind of a no brainer. Like I said, the plot is very good. It might move a bit slowly at times, but there is always some bit of information or plot point just out of reach that keeps you watching. The acting was all excellent as well. "The Firm" even managed to pack in a positive message or two about the importance of keeping someone's trust and fighting for those you love. However, there is some violence (shooting and punching), and quite a bit of sexual content. Besides some sensual dialouge, there is blatant talk about adultery, and a key character in the film is shown doing it (we don't see any nudity). A few times people are shown unbuttoning each other's clothes. The language is pretty harsh, too, with uses of f---, s---, and more. Finally, a lot of characters drink to the point of drunkeness. Overall, "The Firm" is a very cool movie, and I reccomend it if you enjoy thrillers and can handle the long running time. But it's definitely for mature teens and up.
