Joel Schumacher followed up Batman Forever with a march back into the world of John Grisham.
It will remain nothing more than a reflection of our own prejudices.
The two brutally attack and rape her before trying to hang her from a tree.
He is arrested without resistance and charged with murder and attempted murder of a police official.
The trial garners much media attention and the focus on race becomes a prominent issue.
Schumacher takes a big step back as a director with this project.
It doesnt hold the down and dirty, gritty qualityThe ClientorFalling Downhad, but feels more truthful and honest.
Schumacher favourite, writer Akiva Goldsman, managed to piece together a good script from the book.
One audition tape later Grisham was hooked and the role went to him.
You wonder if that day might have passed, though.
Surely there can be no higher praise for an actor than that.
Next time, I will be looking at the horror that would come to be known asBatman & Robin.
