The Rainmaker
1997
***
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Cast: Matt Damon, Danny DeVito, Claire Danes, Jon Voight, Mickey Rourke
Matt Damon plays an idealistic law school graduate who gets a wake-up call when he tries his first case. This John Grisham adaptation is one of the better ones. It's an eentertaining court drama but not more. Don't expect to find any Francis Ford Coppola touches on the screen.
