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 violent retribution and revenge from the Ku Klux Klan. A Time to Kill is a racial thriller full of suspense, edginess and terrific perfomances from a very talented cast of young and old actors such as Matthew McCounaughey, Donald Sutherland, Kevin Spacey, Samuel L. Jackson and Sandra Bullock. The film is excellent filmed and the story quite interesting, please see it it's just amazing!!!

If I'm ever scrolling and come across this movie I will watch it. I've probably seen it at least a 100 times. The whole story from start to finish is engaging and powerful. It has an all star cast which only adds to its greatness. And the closing argument scene will make me cry every single time. The issues and tragedies addressed in this film are what opened my eyes to the real world at just 12 years old when I first watched it. I truly suggest that everyone should see this movie at least once. If your eyes aren't opened to the judicial biases, racial biases and all around disgusting behavior of people in this world then you may be hopeless.

I saw the movie and i liked it ...samuel jackson a father He avenged those who raped his daughter by killing them . The film revolves around the phenomenon of racism between whites and blacks and its great impact on society.... The story was good and the presence of Kevin Spacey was very important he has performed very well and this despite his secondary role The film is characterized by the blackness of the idea He was among the best court films In the latter he was oppressed and did not get what he deserved from popularity despite the Oscarsian cast 7/10

This movie is the film adaptation of John Grisham's A Time to Kill. Some would (inevitably) argue that the book is better but I won't because both are pretty bad. I will make the case for the film being better merely because the acting had more emotion than the novel.According to Wikipedia "The inspiration came from the case of the rape and assault of 12 year old Marcie Scott and her 16 year old sister Julie Scott. Unlike Grisham's depiction, however, the Scotts were white and their assailant, Willie Harris, was black." which is hilarious when you consider the defense's closing argument "now imagine she's white."Only in the realm of fiction could the plot of this movie happen.There's an iconic scene by Samuel Jackson so I'll give it 2 stars.
