Very powerfull movie to watch. This movie has many similarities to A Time To Kill, as in it is a courtroom drama set in the American south, but this one is a true story featuring many people that were actually there when these events happened.

MCT:September 9, 2007Important movie well played. In some ways life has changed since then. For too many this is something for the history channel. Perhaps society would be better served by showing the history channel in theatrers and charging everyone $15.00 to see it.

one of the greatest movies I have seen about the racism from the 50s and 60s...where a white man gets away with murder...pay back is a bitch!

Everytime I watch it, I enjoy it even more. I'd no idea it was a Rob Reiner picture though, but it's a great story with a lot of heart and some great performances, notably by Baldwin, Woods and Goldberg.

MCT:June 19, 2007I thought James Woods turned in the role of his life in this movie. Too bad the rest of the movie was so flat.

at first this did not seem like a great movie (probably from the title and poster)... it seemed cliched and not having much to offer
However, it overcame these intial it had good elements and this was a rather enjoyable film
Alec Baldwin's performance gained momentum towards the end and james wood did a great job of playing the racist, narrow-minded and radical killer.
whoopi goldberg played her part of medger evers widow beautifully...holding her head high and maintaining her dignity even when people pointed fingers, talked disapprovingly about her or discouraged her from delivering justice to her husbands murder
the best part is the court room scene (the one 30 yrs after the assasination of civil rights leader medger evers). although some parts of it were unrealistic such as when mrs. evers takes the stand and she launches into a narrative..in real life courtrooms the defense (beckwith) would have immediately objected and not have sat on their arses like they did in the movie. baldwin's closing speech in the end (disregarding the flowery language and cliches used) conveyed a strong message and deserves some recognition
otherwise and overall an enjoyable and great movie -
MCT:May 29, 2007Very good movie. The acting as amazing and makes you think about the 60 with the Civil Rights moment.

I watched the making of this one HBO, when it first came out, the real Merlie Evers said that they made James Woods look so much like the guy that actually killed her husband that she almost killed him herself.

One of her best works. I love seeing her play in comedy roles but when she gets serious parts like this one, she's just as excellent.
-
MCT:March 17, 2007
I rather enjoyed this film I must admit. In places it is not easy to recognise how much time has passed since the last scene (sometimes years) but otherwise a great movie.
-
MCT:February 1, 2007
Its a great movie. Chronicling the trial and events surrounding it of a hate filled racist. Better late than never i suppose.

Despite being a pro-multi-culti brainwash-fest, the performances here are pretty good. James Woods is particularly entertaining in that "old man" face.
