The Gingerbread Man


A lawyer (yes, you are right, you do smell Grisham) meets a young woman at a party, who is having trouble with her slightly nutty father. Laywers being lawyers (or, Grisham being Grisham) we are soon in court and daddy is sent away to a lunatic lockup. Unfortunately, his pals help him escape, and thus begins the terror for the lawyer, as daddy turns his attention on him. Expect some nice storm weather.

Johlene Powell: What went wrong ? Some great actors with a feeble plot / script ! A pity we worked it out in the first 20 minutes of the movie!

Robert Haynes: What a drag !!! This film had such great potential, a kick butt trailer and one hell of a director. What happened ??? What a bore !!!
