A Time to Kill *** (1996, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Samuel L Jackson, Donald Sutherland, Kevin Spacey) – Classic Film Review 1015
Based on the John Grisham bestselling legal thriller novel, director Joel Schumacher’s 1996 movie is an acceptable, quite enjoyable but rather tepid and vaguely botched racially-aware legal thriller. In Mississippi, an African American father Carl Lee […]

The Gingerbread Man *** (1998, Kenneth Branagh, Embeth Davidtz, Robert Downey Jr, Robert Duvall) – Classic Movie Review 422
Robert Altman’s neglected 1998 movie is an awkward but by no means negligible noirish thriller, based on a John Grisham original screen story. Kenneth Branagh gives an exceptional performance as a very flawed, unsympathetic hero, […]
The Rainmaker **** (1997, Matt Damon, Danny DeVito, Claire Danes, Jon Voight, Mary Kay Place, Danny Glover) – Classic Movie Review 382
Francis Ford Coppola’s magnetic 1997 thriller makes its case to win the award for the best film adaptation of a John Grisham legal mystery novel. It’s as tense, atmospheric, characterful and intriguing as they come. […]
