The client is about an 11 year old boy Mark (Renfro) who witnesses the lawyer of the mafia commit suicide. Before this happens the lawyer tells Mark that he knows where a body is burried. Unfortuantely for Mark, it isn't long before the police know that Mark has this information and interogate him. As if that isnt enough, the mafia are also aware Mark has the information and are after him as well. With all this pressure from the police and fear for his life, Mark locates lawyer Reggie (Sarandon) who accepts Mark as her client even though all he and his family can afford to pay her is one dollar! From then on, Reggie has to find a way to save Mark from being sent to prision and being killed.

What a fantastic storyline! No it isn't a blood and gore film and no it doesnt have a serial killer on the loose but for anyone who enjoys thrillers, you can't get much better than this! The acting in it is fantastic especially from Tommy Lee Jones who plays the part of a big-headed and purposeful investigator to a high standard. And i promise you that you will have fallen in love with young Brad Renfro by the end of the film due to his bravery and quick wit! If your looking for a great thriller that you will be talking about for days, dont look a second longer, this is it!
