John Grisham's bestseller A Time to Kill hits the screen with incendiary force, directed by Joel Schumacher (Batman Forever, The Client). Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaughey and Kevin Spacey portray the principals in a murder trial that brings a small Mississippi town's racial tensions to the flashpoint. Amid a frenzy of activist marches, Klan terror, media clamor and brutal riots, an unseasoned but idealistic young attorney mounts a stirring courtroom battle for justice. The superb ensemble also includes Brenda Fricker, Oliver Platt, Charles S. Dutton, Ashley Judd, Patrick McGoohan, Chris Cooper and both Donald and Keifer Sutherland. These and other talents make A Time to Kill "one of the year's most powerful films" (Jeffrey Lyons, SNEAK PREVIEW/ABC WORLD NEWS NOW).
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: GREAT MOVIE Comment: This is a GREAT movie, all star cast, excellent in entertainment. One of my faves... Customer Rating: Summary: Are You Kidding Me? Comment: Man this movie pissed me off. SPOILER ALERT. It's a sad day in America where a man can be found innocent of a murder that everyone saw him commit. Apparently if you have a good enough reason to kill someone, then it's okay. The scene where Matthew McConaughey is talking about the little girl being tortured was just ridiculous. It had nothing to do with the case! Murder is murder, and if you're going to take the law into your hands then you have to be willing to pay the price.
Matthew McConaughey's character played the race card and used white guilt to his advantage. Somehow this is supposed to be a happy ending. Customer Rating: Summary: A Time To Kill Comment: This is a great movie. The plot, the actors and the message are very well portrayed. Samuel L. Jackson and Matthew McConaughey should have won an oscar for their performance. Donald Sutherland is also terrific in this movie. I will watch this movie again and again, Customer Rating: Summary: FAVORITE MOVIE Comment: This is my favorite movie and the price was right at auction. Came speedily and in brand new condition! Customer Rating: Summary: Makes a statement. Comment: A Time to Kill is a wonderful and deeply moving film. Based on John Grishman's novel, this film has a violent but profound subject matter and the star-studded cast is excellent especially Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaughey and Sandra Bullock. I highly recommend purchasing this intelligent court room drama, enjoy!
