Story Synopsis:
The Client is the third adapted screen version of the best selling John Grisham novels. When out cruising in the woods, 11-year old Mark Sway (Renfro) and his younger brother, both from a poor and broken home, witness the suicide of a prominent Mob attorney. A politically ambitious federal prosecutor (Jones) puts the boy up against an intimidating federal legal system which offers no protection. Fortunately, a courageous middle-class lawyer (Sarandon) risks her career and life to protect Mark.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is framed at 2.40:1 and marred by oversaturated fleshtones that have a filtered orange tint. Grain and noise is evident in dark scenes but artifacts are minor.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
Nothing exceptional, just conventional movie stereo with mono effects and dialogue, and ambient surround from music.
