Newsweek: David Ansen remembers Sydney Pollack May 29, 2008
He wisely made Tom Cruise a team player and surrounded him with indelible supporting performers like David Strathairn, Holly Hunter, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, Gary Busey, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Wilford Brimley.

The Grown-Up May 28, 2008

Remembering Sydney Pollack May 28, 2008
But even a picture like "The Firm" (1993), the kind of popular entertainment that doesn't necessarily hold up well for the ages, is worth reviewing just for the way Pollack allows the movie's range of astonishing performances -- from the likes of Holly Hunter, Gene Hackman, David Straitharn and Gary Busey -- to shine through. Even Tom Cruise, possibly the most impermeable, self-involved actor of the modern age, manages a reasonable approximation of believability. (Salon)

The "Puttin' on the Ritz" number, the scene between the Monster (Peter Boyle) and the blind man (Gene Hackman) and just about any scene featuring Madeline Kahn are all hysterical - and, of course, I'd seen all of them before, in documentaries, on YouTube, everywhere.
