Pretty decent John Grisham adaptation

Susan Sarandon, the emotional center of the narrative, received a well-deserved Oscar nomination for playing a recovered alcoholic laywer who interacts with the boy as a surrogate mother and a pro.

An engrossing potboiler ... if you don't think too hard. But when you need a pot-smoking Lez Zeppelin-enslaved swamp rat-with-a-brain to plead your case, you call the pitch-perfect Susan Sarandon.

This isn't a masterpiece of suspense, but it has its moments and is capable of providing some light summer entertainment.

It twists and turns in all the expected places, and almost never rises above the ordinary.

Mindless, non-taxing fun, especially if you haven't read the book.

A high-voltage charge of suspense, action and humor.
