Tom Hutchinson

Robert Altman forsakes the scattershot storytelling technique of Nashville and The Player for a more conventional form of movie-making with this dramatisation of a John Grisham story set in Savannah, Georgia.

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

Dan DiNicola

Altman lays compelling groundwork for a story that eventually turns on deadly clichés, and Kenneth Branagh lacks the star power needed to overcome shortcomings of character and plot.

More entertaining than the narrative's predictable beats are the swaths of dialogue floating in and out of focus from the support staff at Magruder's firm.

Unfortunately, the film remains relatively charmless.

The Gingerbread Man, a neo-noir thriller that unwinds with off-kilter promise, is the big yawn.
