Most boring title for a suspense-thriller movie ever?


Then again it's not quite as stupid as The Gingerbread Man (1998).

Grisham novels were really popular in the 90s and it was a great decade to be a retail book author with mass appeal, so no matter what he titled his book the studio knew that using the same title was going to guarantee asses in the theater seats. Personally, I never liked his writing style or plot devices and felt they lacked narrative depth but regardless of that Grisham had string of adaptations until audiences stopped watching his adapations in droves.

I dunno. I got pretty excited when I first heard of this and the anticipation I had of a film about waterfowl underwear.
