Editorial Reviews

Carl Lee Hailey (Samuel L. Jackson) takes the law into his own hands after the legal system fails to adequately punish the men who brutally raped and beat his daughter, leaving her for dead. Normally, a distraught father could count on some judicial sympathy in those circumstances. Unfortunately, Carl and his daughter are black, and the assailants are white, and all the events take place in the South. Indeed, so inflammatory is the situation, that the local KKK (led by Kiefer Sutherland) becomes popular again. When Hailey chooses novice lawyer Jake Brigance (Matthew McConaughey) to handle his defense, it begins to look like a certainty that Carl will hang, and Jake's career (and perhaps his life) will come to a premature end. Despite the efforts of the NAACP and local black leaders to persuade Carl to choose some of their high-powered legal help, he remains loyal to Jake, who had helped his brother with a legal problem before the story begins. Jake eventually takes this case seriously enough to seek help from his old law-school professor (Donald Sutherland). When death threats force his family to leave town, Jake even accepts the help of pushy young know-it-all lawyer Ellen Roark (Sandra Bullock). Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

A Movie for our Timesby Anonymous

September 11, 2007: Our country may not always like to face itself, but when it does it is at its best--and an example for countries abroad. As our country is changing demographically and racially, this is a movie that should be watched as racial tension and brutality is always native to the United States. It is as Samuel L. Jackson said, "A battlefield."

September 11, 2007: When I saw this movie I knew this was something that could begin putting a dent into the whole racial experience. Who knows what they would have done in this situation. But the subliminal messages were most powerful.
