A Time to kill, Appreciation thread.

Good film.

I remember Kiefer Sutherland's (racist) character was talking to one of his redneck buddies:

"- Some clan coming down here to help us out

- Skinheads and such?

- No...Good, God-Fearing Clan!"

:giggle:

And who can forget this exchange!


"- Were you aware that if convicted they could be freed in only ten years?

- Yes sir I heard people say that, yes sir

- Do you think that men who kidnap a child should be free in ten years?

- No sir

- Do you think that two men who rape a child should be free in ten years?

- No sir

- Do you think two men who hang a child should be free in ten years?

- No sir

- Well what do you think should happen to them, what would be a fair sentence?

- [Objection your Honour]

- Do you think they deserve to die Mr Hailey, answer the question!

- [Karl Lee don't answer that!]

- Do they deserve to DIE?

- YES they deserve to die and I hope they burn in hell!!!!!"

:bears:

 

I liked the movie, but for some reason consider this and Ghosts of Mississippi to be Mississippi Burning-lite.

Felt like it would've been even better with someone other than Matthew McConuaghey as the lead.

 

Not a McConuaghey fan at all, but he was great in this film.

 

on a sidenote this was also a brilliantly translated movie from the book. they didn't change much, did all the characters justice and didn't cut out any essential scenes, imo
