Great film, grim subject but such is life. Definitely give it a go.

Pretty decent courtroom drama. Acting is very good. Story is good as well. Writing is only okay. Script is a bit predictable. Worth a watch.

(8.4/10) A story ripe with racial conflict in the aftermath of America’s segregation policies. Today’s stars in their early career

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this film but it’s almost like I’m watching it gif the first tone each time I watch it.

Tense drama that utilizes every minute of its longer runtime. Debate works through the entire movie.

The closest rendition of book to movie I’ve ever seen. In fact I’ve actually named it as the only exception before. GREAT. Do not miss.
