Movies: A Time to Kill (1996)

A young Mississippi lawyer defends a black man who killed the two white men that raped his preteen daughter. 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. Masterful performances all around in this great thriller and I’m amazed how I didn’t see this so far. Six popcorns. To see all 15 photos, visit the article page.
