Der Regenmacher (1997)
26KDer Regenmacher: Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. With Matt Damon, Danny DeVito, Claire Danes, Jon Voight. An underdog lawyer takes on a fraudulent insurance company.
“This gentle David and Goliath style story is a delight to watch and an inspiration to viewers to work hard, be determined and maintain self belief against the odds. Matt Damon underplays his role very well. Clare Danes is less believable as a battered wife – Iu0026#39;d be terrified in her shoes, but she maintains a fixed slight irritation when the baseball bat starts swinging. Virginia Madsen steals the movie, making her character shine with integrity and empathy. She appears for about ten minutes, so make the most of her. Micky Rourke? Was he bored, too much trouble or couldnu0026#39;t learn his lines? Seems to be under-used for some reason. I could actually smell Jon Voightu0026#39;s cologne, so well did he play the rich top lawyer in the expensive suit.”
