You wouldn't know it by watching the Batman movies they collaborated on, but this smart adaptation of John Grisham's novel proves that director Joel Schumacher and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman have some talent when the right project comes along.

Sandra Bullock plays the passionate law student who serves as McConaughey's legal aide and voice of conscience in the racially charged drama. Added to the star power of the lead roles is a fine supporting cast, including Kevin Spacey, Ashley Judd, and Oliver Platt. --Jeff Shannon

The story is about racism and the southern states, a rape and a murder put the balance of justice to the test, the movie opens for debate whether the sorrowed father should be freed or the law must be followed.

With great ... Read More

Rating: - Time to Kill
Time to Kill is a great reminder of how prejudice is still a realty in today's society. It is heartbreaking and rewarding at the same time.

Rating: - A Time to Kill
Worth it to suffer the stereotyped characters and predictable plot to get to the final summation.
