The dramatization of the real-life murder trial of Byron De
La Beckwith -- the racist killer of civil rights leader Medgar Evers.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - Kissing, mild sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man is shot and we see blood running from his mouth and
some blood on his shirt. A boy has a bloody nose after a fistfight. A dead body is seen in
an exhumed casket. In news footage we see a man kicking another, a dog biting a man,
rioting and a hanged man. Some scuffles.
PROFANITY 4 - Many scatological references and mild obscenities, an
anatomical reference, some racial slurs. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Civil rights movement, racism, justice.
MESSAGE - Justice should be served.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
