Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
mark2-1 I saw the film on TV today and found it fascinating and shocking.I agree with the opinion of the majority of the other reviewers that the cast was excellent. *** This review may contain spoilers ***I am confused that Author: Robert J. Maxwell (rmax304823@yahoo.com) from Deming, New Mexico, USA wrote:"Liebowitz, without his knowing, may have helped lose the case himself. In a café, seeing a black girl waiting for a lunch to be handed to her to take out because she's not admitted into the café. Liebowitz strides over to her, hands her the paper bag, slams down the payment on the counter, and shouts, "What kind of people ARE you?" That's no way to endear yourself to the community from which the jurors are drawn."This is not how the scene was in the version I saw. In the version I saw, Liebowitz sees the girl waiting outside the door and the waitress takes a very, very long time to bother to deliver the paper bag to her outside the door and collect her payment. This illustrates how little regard the waitress has for a black child.
mdechene Nothing spectacular about this movie. The actors played their parts as though they were there just for the money. The good thing about the movie was how it portrayed the bigot and racial hatred practiced by our fine USA citizens. And, went on as though their lies were the truth and with the conviction that no one could prove their lies to be false and prejudicial. I cannot say more about this movie and I yet do not have enough information to meet the required amount of sentences for the IMDb. So the rest of my presentation will be meaningless jargon. You may stop reading at any point. Mary had a little lamb. It's fleece was white as snow.
a_red_jeep_91 As a featured extra on the film, jury foreman, I very much enjoyed working on the film. Everyone was very very good to work with. I have done theater but this was my first film in front of the camera. EVERYONE was really great!!! Not only on camera but behind the scenes they were all wonderful people. The actors and crew were all very nice, helpful and understanding of the mistakes we made as non professionals. I have worked with other directors and Terry is one of the best.We here in Monroeville would love to give them a very special thanks for all the things they did to help save the courthouse and the other work they did before and after hurricane Ivan.
markawink Heaven's Fall film was the debut for John W. Brooks. He played Judge Hawkins, the original sentencing Judge.Mr. Brooks is an upcoming actor with true raw talent. His part was short, but his presence was a commanded performance. We look forward to seeing him in other great films.Our thanks to director Terry Green for putting on such a wonderful production. We look forward to seeing the film in theaters.I would like to also note that Timothy Hutton is one of our favorite actors. I really enjoy his style of acting and think having him in the film will make it a true success.Great job and good luck to all the cast!
