Synopsis

Chris O'Donnell, two-time Academy Award-winner Gene Hackman and Oscar-winner Faye Dunaway star in this gripping suspense thriller based on John Grisham's explosive best-selling novel.

O'Donnell stars as idealistic young attorney Adam Hall who takes on the death row clemency case of his onetime Klansman grandfather, Sam Cayhall (Hackman). With just 28 days before the execution, Adam sets out to retrace the events leading to the crime for which Sam was convicted. As the impending death sentence looms closer, Adam works quickly to uncover the family's history for any hidden clues. In a white-knuckle series of twists and turns, Adam discovers deceptions and dark secrets that ultimately lead him to the startling truth.

    entertaining

    06 December 2008
    This is not one of the more famous (author) John Grisham based-movies and it's a bit talky for my normal tastes, but it was interesting. You can thank Chris O'Donnell and Gene Hackman for two excellent acting performances which helped make this so entertaining in spots.

    O'Donnell plays a young attorney, with shades of Matt Damon's character in another Grisham movie, 'The Rainmaker'. Meanwhile, it's no surprise that Hackman gives us another fascinating performance, this time as the attorney's brutally racist grandfather. He's been imprisoned for a murder and O'Donnell is trying to release him from a death sentence. Faye Dunaway also is in here and has a memorable scene with "Sam."

    Yes, the critics were right in that this could have been better but they were off base blasting this film. It's still an entertaining film, and they forget the value of that.
