From Page to Screen - "A Time to Kill"

In collaboration with the Joyce Young Enrichment Center at Washington Township's RecPlex, the Library invites you to read the book, join us for the movie (and snacks), and then we'll discuss both!
Read: A Time to Kill (1989-Legal Thriller/Fiction) by John Grisham. 672 pp (4.09/5). Before "The Firm" and "The Pelican Brief" made him a superstar, John Grisham wrote this riveting story of retribution and justice. Criminal lawyer Jake Brigance faces the fight of his life when he is asked to defend Carl Hailey, who, in a rage of anger, shot and killed the men on trial for the rape of his daughter. For ten days, as burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spread through the streets of Clanton, the nation sits spellbound as the young defense attorney struggles to save his client's life, and then his own.
Film: A Time to Kill (1996) with a running time of 2 hours/29 minutes. MPAA rated R for racial violence (including a cross burning) and the use of guns/weapons; characters are killed, and the rape scene is very upsetting. Characters swear ("s--t" and more) and use racially charged slurs (the "N" word); they also drink and smoke. Directed by Joel Schumacher. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, and Samuel L. Jackson.
