Movie Reviews of The Chamber
Movie Review: Tough Subject, Great Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
There are a few fairly recent movies about the death penalty--Dead Man Walking, The Green Mile, The Life of David Gaye. To me, this one gives us more insight into all the appeals etc that lead up to an execution. I was interested to find out that the actual gas chamber at Parchman, Mississippi, was used in the chamber scenes of the movie. It has an unusual plot, in that a Klan killing from the 1960's took this long to come to execution. Murder should never be considered a cultural phenomenon, but the book/movie point out that Klan killings, at this point in our history, were not unusual. This role was so different for Gene Hackman, The Runaway Jury. I've become a big fan of all of Grisham's books and movies. I also enjoy them because they are usually set in/around the Memphis area (since I lived in that area when I was in the Air Force 20 years ago).Movie Review: Great book. . . great movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Seldom does the movie compares with the book, but in this one it does. It shows how our society has changed and the impact it has on people like the character in this movie. It shows how the political-correctness aspect of how we think and do things has an impact on our lives. I actually felt sorry for this racist murderer, but realize, that he was a product of a society, at that time, condonned such things and incouraaged them, only to do a flip-flop that left some, like the character on death-row wondering: What the hell happened?Movie Review: Gene Hackman rocks!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I really think this movie is one of gene hackman's best. This movie is about how the clan planted a bomb in a lawyer's office and the lawyer's children were killed and the police arrested hackman's character "sam cayhall" for the killing. Years later, cayhall's grandson arrives to defend his grandfather. His grandson is a lawyer too. It's real interesting to watch adam investigate the case and discover that nothing is what it seems to be. I tell you one thing, it will make you look at the death penalty diffently. I real must-see!Movie Review: It's a Keeper
Summary: 4 Stars
I've enjoyed the movie twice & am adding it to my collection.Gene Hackman is terrific as usual. Faye Dunaway even better in this particuar movie.
I wasn't familar with the story & hadn't heard of the book, just walked into the movie out of the blue one night because I saw Gene Hackman was in it.
Enjoyed it very much!!!
Movie Review: Passable.
Summary: 4 Stars
This film is really only good for two things.
1. Chris O'Donnell appears without his shirt on for one scene
2. Faye Dunaway plays a crazy drunk (ultimate camp!)
