It's summer, and conflict simmers just below the surface of a steamy Southern town. Passions ignite after the brutal rape of a young black girl, and suddenly it's a time to question, to rage and to kill. Into this cauldron of bigotry and vengeance enters an idealistic young lawyer who risks his job, his home and his family to fight for justice in this hard-edged adaptation of John Grisham's best-selling novel.

Critics Consensus: Overlong and superficial, A Time to Kill nonetheless succeeds on the strength of its skillful craftsmanship and top-notch performances.

The performances are strong, the issues provocative.

There is a lot in here that is effective, and plenty that works. There is simply also a lot that doesn’t.

In order to enjoy this mediocre John Grisham courtroom drama, labeled as top-notch entertainment by many of my colleagues, you have to accept an ersatz, cartoonish version of the deep south...

...a slow-moving yet mostly engrossing drama...

It's not perfect, but perhaps that's part of its sometimes pulpy joy (and certainly McConaughey's character flaws are part of his charm).
