Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
There's too much of that inside-baseball talk, and too many ridiculous plot turns that require intelligent people to make really stupid decisions, just so the suspense can be sustained.

rotten:
Epstein and Kahn might have been better off leaving the assassinations, kidnappings and cliffhangers to Grisham and made a simpler, more realistic movie about a desperate young banker juggling deals and trying to stay afloat.

rotten:
Far from the real deal when it comes to even a modicum of plausibility on a politically hot topic.

Seldom entertaining.

The Deal clearly aims at being a roman-a-clef. Instead it's more of a roman-a-clumsy.
