A quality, likeable, and engaging courtroom drama is hard to find for me. Damon's character does a good job humanizing the lawyer profession, and the proceedings still hit modern hot button topics. The Danes subplot was not fleshed out enough, the rewatchability factor is lacking, and the whole thing ultimately lacked subtlety.

A kitschy, pandering, simple little piece of feel-good plastic like all the other John Grisham adaptations. It's indistinct enough that you couldn't tell that a renowned auteur directed this just by watching it. It's perfectly watchable, though, and the cast does boast many lovely names.

Conventional but well made courtroom drama finds Coppola in assignment mode and doing a reasonably good job of it, although it is clear he has no real emotional investment in the material. Unlike Sorkin, he has some idea how to make a story of this kind relatively cinematic, within obvious limits, and the performances are well judged. The 'romantic' subplot is not skillfully integrated into the main plot though, and Grisham's intellectual limitations are on full display.

Although not a bad film, the script is slightly weak for such a director. Especially the Danes storyline was so pointless that I was shocked at its conclusion. The character couldve been developed in a much better way. Other than that, the main plot was decent enough to drag you along and the court room scenes were enjoyable.

Avukatlar, sigortacıların yolsuzluğunu çıkarırsa. Yeni mezun avukat Matt Damon, lösemi hastası gencin, sağlık sigortasından yardım alamaması sonucu dava açılır. Dava ilerledikçe, sigorta şirketinin foyaları ortaya çıkar. Filmin ara öyküleri kötü ama ilginç 1 avukatlık filmi diyebiliriz. Abartılı oyunculuklar da olsa, ilgiyle izleniyor. Filmin sonunda, sigorta şirketini batıracak şekilde tazminat kazanıyorlar. Kirli sularda köpek balığı beslemek.

I bet the costume department was happy when they figured out that Mickey Rourke already owned his costume. The Rainmaker is typical of most Gresham adaptations in that is a perfectly serviceable Sunday afternoon movie. Everyone is entertaining enough and there is enough inspirational monologues to make your parents smile.

There's a lot of engaging stuff going on, it's just a bit too unfocused. With better editing I think this could have been a classic. Good cast.

Fun courtroom drama and procedural. Typical legal movie tropes and inaccuracies. Good villainous Jon Voight. Matt Damon is great for the part of the idealistic young lawyer. Danes’ story was unnecessary. DeVito not too overbearing. Fav scene: getting blindsided with the witness who apparently slept with all of senior management.

An inoffensive but generic and predictable underdog story in the style of a legal drama. The romance subplot can feel a bit forced at times, but besides that it's definitely at least watchable.

danes'in anlamsızca hikayeye eklemlenen arkı duruşma evresine kadar özellikle devito sayesinde baskın çıkan alaycı tonla ciddi bir uyuşmazlıkla gelirken, çözüme giden duruşma sahneleriyle beraber ayrı bir "spielberg duygusallığına" bağlıyor. bariz *villain* konumlandırması, ufak bir alaycılık ve üzerine serpiştirilen "duygusallık" ile en oturaklı yanı tema müziği oluyor malesef. ama devito ve rourke karakterleri işin eğlenceli yanı.
