Review of A Time to Kill (1996) by Halimali H — 17 Feb 2010
This is a crime/court movie. If you like this genre then this is the movie for you.
The story is about a murder trial that brings a small Mississippi town's racial tensions into a full focus. Tension intensifies in the town and lots of unpleasant events take place in the small town.
Performance wise Matthew McConaughey had the most effective performance in the movie. Both Samuel L. Jacksonand Kevin Spacey were good too in their roles. I think if Kevin was given more scope the movie would have been better. Unfortunately Sandra Bullock was wasted in her role which could have been played by anybody else.
Be warned that the movie is long. It is approximatelt 2.30 hours in duration. Could be cut here and there but I dont have much to complain about. I think this was a decent movie.
