Description

It's summer, and conflict simmers just below the surface of a steamy Southern town. Passions ignite after the brutal rape of a young black girl, and suddenly it's a time to question, to rage and to kill. Into this cauldron of bigotry and vengeance enters an idealistic young lawyer who risks his job, his home and his family to fight for justice in this hard-edged adaptation of John Grisham's best-selling novel.

    I have seen this movie so many times, and I am still caught up in the drama every time. The story is amazing. The cast is full of amazing actors, and I love to see father and son Sutherland on opposing sides! Don't rent it, just buy it, because you'll just come back and rent it again :)
  • One of the best movies ever made

    If you don't give this movie at least four stars, that means you don't know a good movie when you see one.

    I chose to view this film for an AP U.S. Government & Politics project because I read Mr. Grisham's books in the past and knew that A Time to Kill would be great. However, the film is not simply an adaptation of his brilliant debut novel: It is a lesson. I would recommend this movie to anyone who deals regularly with people, be they clients, adversaries, or even friends, because A Time to Kill reminds all viewers that no matter a person's color, sex, race, disability, or lineage, they remain a human being for all eternity. As Mr. Jackson puts it, "I am not just a black man, Jake. I am a MAN!"
