Recent Harvard Law grad Tom Cruise takes a high paying job in Memphis that seems too good to be true. He becomes suspicious when he stumbles on some documents related to recently deceased ex-employees. The clues lead to murder and the mob. There is a good story here, but getting past Cruise's smugness and non-acting makes it difficult to appreciate. Gene Hackman as his flawed mentor is as good as ever, however. Dave Grusin's Academy Award nominated score is bouncy but distracting.
