I liked the book a lot better. I don't think I can manage a slow movie but I can definitely read a slow book.

This is Joel Shumacher s best movie, I think and it is a good movie, although it has some flaws. For instance it shows its age being made in 1996. The fantastic cast and their performances makes up for a lot of these flaws. What really is striking, is that you could make this movie now, in 2023 and it would still be accurate of the situation in some parts of the USA. Think about that...

**It's a good movie, but I've seen better courtroom dramas.**

I saw this film not long ago and was very impressed with its quality. I didn't know, however, that it was based on a novel by John Grisham (I've never read it, and I have doubts if it was translated into Portuguese), and based very lig More

The opening scenes of this movie are the sort that stay with you for ever: the brutal assault and murder of a young girl by two rednecks in Mississippi. Before their trial, they are gunned down in the courthouse by the girl's bereft father "Carl Lee Hailey" (Samuel L. Jackson) and it falls to "Briga More
