Movie Description

Academy Award Nominations: Best Actress--Susan Sarandon.
Synopsis
Young Mark Sway obtains information regarding a murdered U.S. Senator's missing body. Suddenly, everyone wants to meet (or kill) Mark, including the Mob, the FBI, and Roy Foltrigg, a feral federal prosecutor. Mark refuses to spill the beans, prompting him to hire down-on-her-luck female attorney Reggie Love to protect his rights, and his life.

"...[Countless] small, knowing touches that bring it to life....A fast, no-nonsense pace and three winning performances..."
New York Times - p.C11 - Janet Maslin
"...[Jones] does grace-note riffs....A thriller like THE CLIENT doesn't need acting any better..."
Entertainment Weekly - p.42 - Owen Gleiberman
"...[Featuring] a pair of satisfying star performances..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (07/20/1994)
