Full Plot Details

Having survived the hatred and bigotry that was his Klansman grandfather's only legacy, young attorney Adam Hall seeks at the last minute to appeal the old man's death sentence for the murder of two small Jewish boys 30 years before. Only four weeks before Sam Cayhall is to be executed, Adam meets his grandfather for the first time in the Mississippi prison which has held him since the crime. The meeting is predictably tense when the educated, young Mr. "Hall" confronts his venom-spewing elder, Mr. "Cayhall," about the murders. The next day, headlines run proclaiming Adam the grandson who has come to the state to save his grandfather, the infamous Ku Klux Klan bomber. While the old man's life lies in the balance, Adam's motivation in fighting this battle becomes clear as the story unfolds. Not only does he fight for his grandfather, but perhaps for himself as well. He has come to heal the wounds of his own father's suicide, to mitigate the secret shame he has always felt for the genetic fluke which made this man his grandfather, and to bring closure -- one way or another -- to the suffering the old man seems to have brought to everyone he has ever known. But, would mercy soften his grandfather's heart?

Movie Reviews

Variety - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyAn intelligently proficient movie that works more effectively as a family drama than a legal thriller.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Desson ThomsonDelivers the entertaining goods without fuss or frills.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Rita KempleyThough it lacks the gloss, twists and star power of earlier Grisham movies, The Chamber does possess Gene Hackman's most cantankerous turn since the lowdown lawman he created in "Unforgiven."
San Francisco Examiner - 6/10 by Barbara ShulgasserHackman is, as ever, a master performer, an actor at the peak of his powers. However, he can't carry the whole movie.
ReelViews - 5/10 by James BerardinelliMechanical and artificial, and tells you what to think.
Chicago Sun-Times - 5/10 by Roger EbertThe 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.
USA Today - 5/10 by Mike ClarkAn 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 New York Times - 5/10 by Elvis MitchellTiming does no favors for The Chamber, the John Grisham death row drama that arrives on the heels of a better death row film (''Dead Man Walking'') and a better Grisham adaptation (''A Time to Kill''). But this film's also-ran aspects are partly offset by Gene Hackman's superlative performance.
Entertainment Weekly - 5/10 by Owen GleibermanThe Chamber goes so far toward humanizing bigotry it ends up sentimentalizing it.
Christian Science Monitor - 5/10 by David SterrittHackman gives a powerful performance as the killer, and the storytelling is often gripping. But the film contains much extremely offensive language and gratuitous depictions of violence, some of it aimed at children, not needed to get the plot across.
