The Firm (film)/YMMV

YMMV pertaining to the 1993 movie and 2012 TV series:

 * Acceptable Professional Targets: Almost every lawyer aside from Mitch is made out to be a complete villain at worst and a Punch Clock Villain at best.
 * Justified in that the only other lawyers we see are at the titular firm, which deliberately selects, corrupts, and trains their members to become this over time -- or kills them if they don't. Mitch's attempt to escape this process with both his integrity and his life is the entire driving force of the plot.
 * What an Idiot!: The premise of the TV series is based around the fact that Mitch and his family leave the Witness Protection Program after a decade to "get their lives" back... and they immediately step into a situation that threatens their lives (the son of one of the parties locked up in the film puts a contract out on Mitch). Better yet, they switch back to their normal names after living under assumed identities for the last decade, which just puts a giant target on their backs.
