Movie description In a small southern town in the 1960s, a black man awaits trial for murdering the two rednecks who viciously raped his 10-year-old daughter. A young, idealistic white lawyer takes up the father's defense, and the incendiary case becomes a firestorm of racism and controversy, ripping the town apart. Based on John Grisham's bestselling first novel. Excellent movie,although i am offended by the ignorant people that wrote this synopsis, Specifically by referring to the rapists as rednecks,meaning anybody who is from the south, and may listen to country music, and speaks southern english. Well i am a redneck and proud of it,and i applauded this father,when the law does not work we do what needs to be done
Bunches of celebrities in this one -- Matthew McConaughey (with and without his shirt), Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey (BOO the bad guy!), Charles S. Dutton, Donald Sutherland, Kiefer Sutherland, Patrick McGoohan, Ashley Judd -- how can you beat a list like that? Add that to lots of emotion, suspense and a couple of good frights too. Rooftop snipers, several clashes between the KKK and the NAACP, bad cops and really good courtroom drama... AND by the end credits everything works out so that they ALL get what they deserve.
It was inexpensive because I purchased it at half.com, and was in great shape when I received it. I enjoyed the movie, it is a good flick. I had seen it on television and liked it enough to want to purchase it.
Sandra Bullock is my favorite actress & she is just awesome in this movie. Great movie however it is definetly not a movie to watch with kids due to the sexual violence.
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It's a brutal attack on a little girl and a desperate fathers only choice. It is a ver heart wrenching story.
