Query: Implausible Ending and Overacting Ruin Grisham Novel

"The Firm" stands out as a shining example of why one should read the novel before watching the movie made from it. I noted that some reviewers have criticized the music, which I always thought of as being out of place in this picture. The two biggest problems I have with the movie are Tom Cruise's ham-handed acting performance and an ending that strays from that in the novel and simply is too implausible. A previous customer reviewer commented that Cruise's character would have been killed by the mobsters, and I agree wholeheartedly with that assessment. If Cruise had been a little more restrained, and if the producers had followed Grisham's book more faithfully, I believe that it could have been a much better movie than the forgettable waste of time that it ended up being.
