Movie Reviews of The Chamber
Movie Review: Read it? Don't watch it...
Summary: 2 Stars
While John Grisham writes extremely good books in which The Chamber is one of...this movie was just pathetic. The storyline of the book was chopped up and murdered. You dont see the changes that Gene Hackman goes through in the movie...one minute he's a KKK advocate and the next he's loving minorities. I have heard from people that haven't read the book that it was a good movie, but this movie is not worth it if you have read it. With the big names in this film...the story line should have been written to FOLLOW THE BOOK!Movie Review: LONG BORING NOVEL = SHORT MOVIE THAT BOMBED
Summary: 1 Stars
Chris O'Donnell, Gene Hackman, Faye Dunaway star in this terrible boring movie based on John Grisham's novel. O'Donnell stars as idealistic young attorney Adam Hall who takes on the death row clemency case of his onetime klansman grandfather, Sam Cayhall (Hackman). With just 28 days before the execution, Adam sets out to retrace the events leading to the crime for which Sam was convicted. As the impending death sentence looms closer, Adam works quickly to uncover the family's history for any - hidden clues.
There is a serious problem with the book and movie, the book is long and so boring and it's sad to say a bestseller. The movie is short and a obvious bomb. Usually John Grisham books are great, thrilling suspensful fun. While John Grisham's movies are long and good, there at least 150 minutes this one was 1 hour and 53 minutes. What happend here? I'll tell you a lousy novel equals a lousy movie.
