   Is 'the Rainmaker' a good movie?

   Is John Grisham's 'The Rainmaker' a good movie?

   What attracted Coppola to 'the Rainmaker'?

   • Coppola says he picked up "The Rainmaker'' in an airport, was intrigued by the story and asked to direct it. What attracted him, I imagine, was the richness of the supporting characters: Miss Birdie, Deck, Bruiser, Kelly, and the scorned woman from the insurance company.
