The "Memphis thing" was the whole point of the book and movie. The Feds would never look for the mobs lawyers and fixers in Memphis. The book ending was may believable. Since Grisham hated being a lawyer, the lawyers in both "The Firm" and "Time to kill" quit being lawyers. In the book,it's Mitch and his wife that sail off away from the mob.

Grisham wrote a nice ending. Too bad the movie blew it off. Nice chase on the coast. They get away to the Caribbean with $10 million or so of mob money. Eventually his work gets the firm busted.

Instead we get Ray getting on a seaplane, not much of a chase, and Cruise meets with the mobsters to say he is their lawyer and doesn't talk.

Scriptwriting just plain sucked.
