it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

A film I've watch countless times, but never can you replicate that first viewing and the impact that this film creates. Law and justice become divided and many boundaries questioned. In my opinion the best role ever played by Samuel L. Jackson

This film is full of main screen actors, and features some very powerful roles based from the book. Samuel L Jackson is superb along with a very strong performance from Mathew McConaughey. The film keeps you guessing and is a definite must for anyone looking for a great thriller. One of my all time favourites.

"A Time to Kill" (1996)This isn't just any movie, filled with the A-League of Hollywood. This isn't just a story well written and brought to screens.The summary for this movie sounds so... simple. "In Canton, Mississippi, a fearless young lawyer and his assistant defend a black man accused of murdering two white men who raped his 10-year- old daughter, inciting a revolt by local racist groups."What this summary doesn't tell you, is, that 'A Time to Kill' is one of the most heartbreaking, soul-shattering and mind-tearing movies you could ever watch.The novel, with the same title, by John Grisham​ from 1989 was already almost too much to bear and it took every ready many tears to cope with the pain this story caused. Not a second of the novel - or the movie - goes by without the reader/watcher sobbing and fighting back the gasps of shock.Now, watching the story being told by the most talented people the movie industry has to offer is exactly the kind of cinema we have been missing for so many years.These days, Hollywood doesn't know how to make movies anymore. Back in the 90's they sure as hell ripped us apart from the inside out with amazing stories like this one.Instead of writing terrible scripts, they should invest more time reading and finding such diamonds like "A Time to Kill" by John Grisham.

A Time to Kill is just one of many anti white films to be come out of Hollywood. Directed and produced solely by Jews (Joel Schumacher, Akiva Goldsman and Arnon Milchan to just mention a few) and Jewish film studios like Regency and Warner Bros. this movie displays black people as very oppressed and overall good people, and whites as stupid hateful racist rednecks. All to push their Zionist agenda and make white people feel guilty.The story is very boring and not very eventful at all. It completely lacks any sort of depth or realism and also authenticates the use of violence against whites and people you don't like.Summary: This movie leaves white people feeling guilty and bad for who they are and for their supposed power in society. (A society actually controlled by Jewish elitists and other corrupt politicians). It also leaves black people feeling as they have the entire white society against them and that white people are responsible for the problems blacks are facing in America. Which is not true.I would not recommend this movie due to it being one of the worst garbage movies I have ever seen.
