this be the bad kind of film . the plot be ludicrous and the character be unrealistic stereotype who never look like they believe it themselves . be white people such monster that they will continue to call two white child rapist in their 20 good boy and need to be persuade that this might be ground for provocation . be black people universally inspire . do the ku klux klan really stand outside court room shoot at lawyer with nobody intervene . do judge really think that a fair trial can be conduct when the jury can hear a mob outside shout kill him . do black people really stand shoulder to shoulder with the klan wait to hear the verdict . do wife really take several month to realise that their husband might be defend a man from unfair hanging because he know might have do the same thing . do jury really acquit people of murder because they feel sorry for them . do lawyer really use a defense of sanity in order to persuade people that their client be temporarily insane . bad of all and any high minded principle of this film be lose to the completely exploitative and gratuitous use of sexual crime to titillate the audience . be the subject of rape and let alone child gang rape and really in competent hand here . be it really a subject that belong in hollywood hand . and if so and why the completely gratuitous kidnap and stripping of sandra bullock . and the completely pointless statutory rape charge against one of the witness . seem like the director do not feel that strongly about sex crime after all . this be take the excellent plot of to kill a mockingbird and make a crass and shallow and tasteless money spinner from it . shame on them .
