A Time to Kill Ratings & Reviews
USA Today
Mike Clark
A handsome but riotously cluttered melodrama with maybe 145 subplots.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Untrained as an actor, with only three minor roles to his credit, McConaughey holds the screen against Samuel L. Jackson, Sandra Bullock and Kevin Spacey, and completely justifies the buzz surrounding his role...
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A skillfully constructed morality play that pushes all the right buttons and arrives at all the right conclusions.
Common Sense Media
Lynnette Nicholas
Legal drama candidly tackles race relations in America.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
It's McConaughey's commanding performance (or the way scenes between him and the equally camera-friendly Bullock practically eat through the screen) that will make this movie one for the history books.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a slow-moving yet mostly engrossing drama...
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
Only a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman could make things worse--and lo and behold, speak of the devil and Old Scratch appears.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
A likable -- maybe even lovable -- movie.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Although it has its share of implausibilities, A Time To Kill is generally the most satisfying of the John Grisham screen adaptations to date.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
If the film doesn't add up to a cogent legal argument, neither does it have trouble delivering 2 hours and 20 minutes' worth of sturdy, highly charged drama.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
McConaughey, 26, is dynamite in a performance of smarts, sexiness, scrappy humor and unmistakable star sizzle.
Chicago Reader
Anthony Puccinelli
Like many artists today, Grisham and Schumacher exploit racial tension without understanding it.
Entertainment Asylum
Brandon Judell
With Joel Schumacher's tasteful but second-rate-Sidney-Lumet direction and Akiva Goldsman's nuts-and-bolts script, these boys have created a surprisingly stirring indictment of racism.
F5 (Wichita, KS)
Jake Euker
Looks aren't enough. In the lead, McConaughey isn't there.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
In order to enjoy this mediocre John Grisham courtroom drama, labeled as top-notch entertainment by many of my colleagues, you have to accept an ersatz, cartoonish version of the deep south...
TV Guide
What craven offal!
Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)
Judith Egerton
McConaughey nails with such laconic grace that some critics are comparing him to the young Paul Newman and to Gregory Peck in To Kill a Mockingbird.
