Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
Sometimes, it's exciting to watch a movie formula jell on screen-and that's what you can see happening in The Client, the latest, and best, of three successive films adapted from legal thrillers by John Grisham.
75
Baltimore Sun - Stephen Hunter
Let's get Sarandon and Jones into another movie soon; they're wonderful. Schumacher can direct and there's probably even a part for Brad Renfro. As for Grisham, he needs a course in remedial plotting.
70
The New York Times - Janet Maslin
The Client, with a fast, no-nonsense pace and three winning performances, is the movie that most clearly echoes the simple, vigorous Grisham style.
67
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
The movie keeps you occupied, but in a processed, unexciting way.
63
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The setup in The Client is done so well, it deserves a better payoff.
