Synopsis
The Gingerbread Man (1998) is a Robert Altman thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Kenneth Branagh plays Rick Magruder, a hotshot Savannah defense attorney whose one-night sympathy for a waitress named Mallory unravels into something he can't control.
Mallory fears her estranged father, a menacing drifter she claims has returned to terrorize her. Rick gets the man arrested — then his own children disappear. The cast around Branagh is sharp: Embeth Davidtz as Mallory, Robert Downey Jr., Daryl Hannah, Tom Berenger, and Robert Duvall rounding out a Savannah full of people with agendas.
Adapted from an original story by John Grisham, the film was reshaped so thoroughly by Altman that Grisham publicly disowned it. That tension shows in the final cut — caught somewhere between a legal procedural and a Southern Gothic mood piece. Stream The Gingerbread Man (1998) online on iFILM.
