About this movie

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 ofthe year's most powerful films" (Jeffrey Lyons, SNEAK PREVIEW/ABC WORLD NEWS NOW). MPAA Rating: R

Ratings and reviews

Had the potential to be truly moving, but often corny, like a sitcom jumping from one fantastical incident to the next. Still, it had a good message overall, and a happy-feel-good ending, for which it earned all 3 stars. If you want something to think deeply about pass this one up.

Putting this on during Stream & chill, it shockingly lacked the Beautiful,almost Neon colors i remembered as a kid watching. I did go *all the way* as it played,so it won't just stop testing other Anime.It being Ashy worked in my favor that night! Amazingly it can still hold his own against modern Animes.

Awesome movie. It's a little hard to watch if you don't wanna get emotional no matter what kind of person watches this movie your GOING to feel something. It's one of those rare movies, when you watch it you will forget about everything going on except the movie .
