Rated: R (MPAA)
Running time: 0
Studio: Pioneer Entertainment
Released:1997
Plot: A hotshot Florida defense attorney takes a too-good-to-be-true
position with a Manhattan legal partnership headed by the unctuous, powerful,
and inappropriately named John Milton (the frothily evil Pacino), who proffers
a fabulous Fifth Avenue flat, untold riches, and scuzzy, amoral clients
who are guiltier than sin of murder and child molestation. But is the ladder
to success literally the road to hell, with Satan himself in the executive
washroom? More morality play than supernatural shocker, with a rich supporting
cast and tasty cameos from the evil likes of Don King and Sen. Alphonse
D'Amato. Cool movie which keeps u in suspense 9/10 watch it!!
Category: Drama
Rated: PG-13 (MPAA)

Studio: Paramount Home Video
Released:1997
Plot: Rudy Baylor is an idealistic young law school graduate who aspires
to be a "rainmaker," a bright star with a golden touch who will lavish
cash-rich clients and billable hours on the firm that is fortunate enough
to hire him. Of course, it would help if the young hotshot could get past
the front-office receptionist of any law firm that would give him the time
of day. He finds employment doing grunt work and chasing ambulances for
a sleazy character named Bruiser Stone, a lawyer with connections in the
Memphis underworld and investments in topless bars. In the process of making
his way in this Kafkaesque world of torts and tarts, Rudy latches onto
a case that will shake the system to its foundation, exposing a multimillion-dollar
insurance scam by taking on a powerful and corrupt company that has systematically
made fortunes off the backs of poor and working-class people.
I loved It!Great Legal drama as with these types of films if u liked
the others u will like The Rainmaker(I don't get the title though). 8/10
