Lots of machinations ensue, legal wrangling between Jake the sexy underdog and Rufus Buckley (Kevin Spacey) the smarmy instead of sexy district attorney. Jackson) finds himself in a heap of trouble for his act of retribution and counts on Jake to help him out of his spot of trouble. Jake’s sexy Southern lawyer routine is rudely disrupted by the vicious rape of a ten-year-old girl and the subsequent violent reaction of her father. Oh, yes, our Jake is a hottie! And he doesn’t even have a peculiar sweating disorder! And Jake is handsome, handsome, handsome! Rumpled boyish charm, sexy southern drawl, those semi-intellectual rimless glasses, that oh so earnest view of the law. Jake also has a cute-as-a-button daughter, a crotchety but lovable secretary (Brenda Fricker) and a morally-bankrupt-but-deep-down-a-good-guy best friend (Oliver Platt). I guess we’re supposed to understand from this that it’s hot in Clanton, Mississippi, but all it convinced me of is that Ms. Jake has a perky blonde wife (Ashley Judd) who mysteriously seems to be perpetually oiled up as though she has just wrestled a greased pig. Jake lives in Clanton, Mississippi and runs a practice originated by a brilliant but now disbarred attorney (Donald Sutherland). In the future, I’ll try to steer clear of cash cows based on bestselling books that I found mediocre even in written form.Ī Time to Kill (the movie) stars Matthew McConaughey as young, struggling attorney Jake Brigance.

The book wasn’t an easy page turner like The Firm and had, in fact, been written first. Once upon a time, back in 19…………….something, I read a book called A Time to Kill written by the then newly famous John Grisham. Main Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Oliver Platt, Sandra Bullock, Kevin Spacey
