Wrenching movie
Tom Hanks' portrayal of a young man with AIDS is absolutely wrenching and totally engaging. The court room scenes when he is hammered about his life style and decisions are especially hard to watch objectively. For me I was enraged by the tactics used by his former employers' lawyer. As a retired public health nurse who lived through the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, I thought that both the homophobia and the fear of the disease was accurately described. Seeing this movie brought it all back for me. Should be mandatory viewing at least at the college level -with discussion. Great, great movie even when the ending at least for Hanks' character is obvious.Read full review

New condition. Well packaged. Great price.
This in my opinion is one of Tom Hank's best roles. Its a heartbraking story re- garding one man's treatment by his em- ployer, when he has aids. This was back when the outbreak first began, & society didn't know much about it. It is riveting.Read full review

Great Movie.
It was an emotional film. Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington give excellent performances of their careers. Hanks is Andrew Beckett, a Philadelphia lawyer working at the city's top law firm. When Beckett is diagnosed with AIDS, he gets fired, although his law firm claims he was incompetent and lazy that is why he was fired. Washington is Joe Miller, a lawyer who takes Beckett's case. One of Tom Hanks best films of his career, it was very sad when Beckett was in the hospital with an oxygen mask on his face, lost his hair, and yellow skin. I cried when i seen that part, of course he passes away at the end of the movie,which was obvious would happen throughout the film. Highly recommend to anyone!!!Read full review

Exact
The movie was fine, but the subtitles were in a foreign language and it was hard to follow. I do ot believe that it was a problem with my tv or player. The subtitles were made for an international audience, not
an English speaking audience.Read full review
