Rent A Time To Kill (1996)

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 clamour and brutal riots, an unseasoned but idealistic young attorney mounts a stirring courtroom battle for justice.

A Time To Kill review by MM

Justice in the Deep South

(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.

For those who like court room dramas, this film will fit the bill. It drips the atmosphere of the deep south through the settings and characters. Although some aspects of the film are a little mechanical, as a whole this film worked for me because of the tantalising relationship between McConaughey and Bullock and their fight for justice in a small town. Kevin Spacey's performance as a politically-driven DA is superb. The legal arguments are at times outrageous - but then isn't that true to life in the American court room?

A Time To Kill review by Pete Husky Vintage Grisham (0) of (1) members found this review helpful. If you liked The Firm or The Pelican Brief you will appreciate the John Grisham style. This film tackles issues of race through the "lawyer up against the system" genre which is Grisham's forte. Well above average film. Not quite in the firm / pelican brief's league but well worth a look
