Dir: Sydney Pollack

The Firm was great when it came out, it really upped the ante within the thriller genre but it hasn't aged well. The problem is that it is about an hour too long. It would be great to see a remake but credit due, it defines the style of the time and has inspired many a good thriller since. If it weren't for the 80's style desperately trying to hang on it would have been at least a star better, but the whole long haired albino henchman thing had been done to death by this point. Also, important question, what happened to the Dog?
