You know, as a book, the only Grisham novel I think I would enjoy adapting would have been his THE TESTAMENT. An odyssey of a journey for an alcoholic lawyer. Redemptive without being moralisticly cheesy and cheap.
As for A TIME TO KILL, the movie is an example of how in Hollywood, you can have an impressive cast of great actors stuck in a melodramatic movie.
I mean, the scene of the Deep South Rednecks(a term I give since surely such white trash are far, if they exist this sharply, away from Tennessee) meeting up the Klan is like COBRA soldiers meeting up with Cobra Commander...just like from a saturday morning cartoon.
