    Not as intense as the other Grisham based films. Thumbs up to Hackman, only to him.

    This is exactly an everage movie, a five star movie. A kind of movies that i will never want to watch twice. But that is ok. I dont hate it i dont love it. just another normal ordinary movie.

    Not bad, not great, a 6.5 at most, not a 7, so I guess I will just put 6..but yeah, I would watch it again...a few more times, but never more than once a year!

    An adequate, inoffensive thriller that, every so often, shows itself to be a little smarter than it needs to be… even if it isn't often enough to make this thriller anything more than average.

    The films portray the Klan as criminal, racist and anonymous, but those have always been its selling points; it is not portrayed as boring and stupid.

    The Chamber is like a balloon that all the air has leaked out of. Maybe it wasn't magnificent before, but in its current state it is sad indeed.
