Pros: Sympathetic characters
Cons: Brigance would never get away with that summation
Summary: John Grisham's early work was known for having his Young Lawyer Up Against Impossible Odds somehow prevail. "A Time To Kill" fits that formula to a T and is therefore less honest than his later work such as the excellent ... read more

Pros: No more detail could fit in the tale of justice in a world with none.
Cons: Not for the tenderhearted.
Summary: Plenty of attempts have been made since its’ “glorious” culmination to summarize and stress the twisted treatment African Americans received from racist, powerful, white citizens not long ago. The messages cry the same words, but none so loud as the one ... read more

Pros: I just saved 15% on my car insurance.
Cons: Completely stupid, illogical, and pointless. Bad acting by bad actors. The director is incorrigibly retarded.
Summary: Without a doubt, A Time to Kill is the most asinine social commentary ever made in the history of man and Joel Schumacher, the director, is the stupidest man who has ever lived. Before I saw this movie, never would I have imagined ... read more

Pros: A variety of strong performances, considering the poor quality of the script
Cons: Script, direction, manipulation, a film that sucks brain cells out of your head
Summary: The first thing one notices about A Time to Kill, is that the cast deserves better than this film can offer. Just look at a list of the actors that lent their talents to this movie: Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey, Oliver Platt, Charles Dutton, ... read more

Pros: Great casting, based on true events.
Cons: Might be too violent for some.
Summary: Derived from John Grisham’s novel of the same name, A Time To Kill is more than just your everyday tale of murder. I like to think of A Time To Kill as a ‘mutt movie’. What’s a ‘mutt movie’ you ask? A movie that involves a wide scale of ... read more

Summary: Blame it all on my roots. I like to read books. And scoff at the movie affair.
Sorry to wax poetic, Garth-style, but I just can't seem to understand how this has become the most popular of the Grisham novel/movies. While some of the ... read more

Pros: superb acting from Jackson and McConaughey, gripping story, thought-provoking
Cons: Just a little over-long
Summary: A Time To Kill is a film I hadn't seen in quite awhile, sitting through it is almost unbearable. The sheer brutality of the crime at the heart of the film makes for exceptionally rough viewing, particularly if you're a parent of a young child. Yet, ... read more
