The Firm (5/9) Movie CLIP - Blackmail (1993) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Head of Security (Wilford Brimley) shows Mitch (Tom Cruise) just how dangerous the firm can become to a young lawyer's family.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this drama, based on the best-selling novel by John Grisham, Mitch McDeer (Tom Cruise) is a young man from a poor Southern family who has struggled through Harvard Law School to graduate fifth in his class. Mitch is entertaining offers from major firms in New York and Chicago, but when Memphis-based Bendini, Lambert, & Locke offer him a 20 percent higher salary than the best offer he's received, in addition to an enticing variety of perks and fringe benefits, he decides to sign on and remain in the South. Mitch's wife, Abby (Jeanne Tripplehorn), warns him that the deal sounds almost too good to be true, but it's not until after several weeks of working with Avery Tolar (Gene Hackman) that Mitch discovers that the vast majority of BL&L's business is tied to organized crime, with crime boss Joey Morolto (Paul Sorvino) using the firm to launder Mafia money. FBI agents Wayne Tarrance (Ed Harris) and F. Denton Voyles (Steven Hill) try to blackmail Mitch into helping them make a case against the firm, while BL&L's "security director" William Devasher (Wilford Brimley) is blackmailing him to do as he's told after Mitch foolishly allows himself to be seduced by a prostitute hired by the firm. The Firm was adapted for the screen by acclaimed playwright David Rabe and features performances by Hal Holbrook, Holly Hunter, and Gary Busey.

HIT US UP:

[actionjackson]

"I get paid to be suspicious when there's no reason for me to be suspicious", best line of the movie. 👌

[Inspadave]

I like how Brimley makes it like he is protecting Tom.

[mustafajackson]

Wilford Brimley was brilliant in THE FIRM; genius casting decision.

[shizzle]

RIP Mr. Brimley. He was such a believable villan in this role. It's almost a shame he didn't play more villan roles. A fantastic actor.

[herbertscott]

This scene, dialogue, tone, delivery, cadence... everything was delivered flawlessly. 😂

[ilovebrandnewcarpets]

Diabeetus, Jigsaw, and Tom Cruise in one scene. I can die in peace.

[phxclosureman]

2:11 *WONTCHA, MITCH ????* Amazing how Mitch was never overtly threatened in this scene, but it wasn't even necessary. He got the message!!!

[RobertNorthrop]

"She finds heartache Mitch." - one of the most unintentionally hilarious cinematic scenes ever....

[hulkhogan]

Intimate acts, oral and whatnot. And diabeetus testing supplies from Liberty Medical.

[conallk]

Kindly old grandpa playing serious hardball here.

[expertinmovies]

" Here's your Abby, one day walking to the mailbox, anticipating the arrival of her Redook, or Sharper Image catalog. What does she find instead? She finds her Diabeetus Testing Supplies from Liberty Medical. Devastating."

[aszteroidt]

What does she find, Mitch? Diabeetus, Mitch. She finds diabeetus...

[stevejohns]

“Now you want that mail don’t ya Mr. Kramer?”

[jeffainsworth]

And after Wilford left the Firm he became the Post Master General.

[tropicflite]

RIP Wilford. Thank you for the entertainment.

[jonnygouda]

I remember seeing this in the theatre. I've seen a lot of horror movies and scary films, but when I saw this scene - with sweet old Wilford Brimley - a chill went up my spine I had never felt before. Still causes it. ...and I don't even cheat on my wife.

[foxibot]

The kind of thing Scientology does to Tom with the blackmail.

[scrofulaeggula]

Wilford Brimley was 58-59 when this film was made.

Tom Cruise is 56, now.

[Indrid__Cold]

"You watch yourself. It's the right thing to do."

[STPickrell]

I was only 17 at the time. Seeing the Quaker Oats man serving the forces of evil had more an impact than it should have. Or maybe I was just sheltered.
