The plot is not very intriguing. Another viewer mentioned The Firm. That plot was better. But the actors did a solid job. Peter Berg was very confident and Jennifer Grey was totally natural. I believed them.
I also liked the slow build toward a climax, with just the right amount of tension coupled with sympathy. But the conclusion was too obvious.
Nevertheless, I was never bored, and this was at least my second time viewing my VHS. I also liked the appearance of a large cell phone from 1992.
Berg has an "everyman" quality about him and usually plays that to the hilt. Even in a lawyer's suit, you hear that he comes from less than nothing and you bond with his underdog status.
Chicago looked good. The other actors seemed awkward. But they weren't given much to work with. The two leads fill the overwhelming majority of screen time.
I recommend it. Don't expect an epic. Just sit back and enjoy.
