Query: I wanted to like this film....but alas

I was shocked at how lame this film was. I really like most of Grisham's films, so I was excited about this one, especially given the cast. Basically the plot involves a woman who sues a gun manufacturer after a maniac kills her husband at the office. Okay, so a maniac uses the gun to kill her husband, and she sues the gun company?!! Hokey premise, but of course, the gun company hires Gene Hackman, as a hot shot attorney to 'fix' the jury so that his high-priced client wins, unbeknowst to him, one of the jurors, played by John Cusack has his own manipulations in mind. Rachel Weiss turns in a nice performance as his co-conspirator. The problem in this film, is not the acting, or performances. It's the lack of punch. Hackman is never truly evil or bad, and the consequences of the outcome are not that earth shattering. I was hoping for a film like Grisham's 'The Rainmaker' with Matt Damon, but unfortunately I got a bad rerun episode of tv's L.A.Law.
