The Gingerbread Man
1998
**½
Director: Robert Altman
Cast: Kenneth Branagh, Embeth Davidtz, Robert Duvall, Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Altman's laid back directorial style is visible in this crime drama about a gullible lawyer, but he cannot breathe life into John Grisham’s original screenplay, which is as unoriginal as thery come. Kenneth Branagh is a surprisingly convincing southerner, though.
