Movie critic [[James Berardinelli]] wrote:
* Grisham's novels all have a depressing sameness to them, and this one is no different. We have the young, good looking hero crusading for right. Whether he wins or not isn't important, only that he gives it his best shot and, in doing so, redeems himself. Along the way, there's probably a pretty (and pretty insignificant) female sidekick willing to help him out. [http://www.reelviews.net/movies/c/chamber.html]
