Nice try, but a B-movie all the same. The plot is routine, the strip club scenes tedious and not erotic, and the ending all too obvious. What saves it is David McCallum's acting as the slimy hood with the mom who makes excuses for him (dad is excessively over the top). He reminds me of Richard Widmark in "Night and the City" -- alas, "A Time to Kill" doesn't have that movie's stellar supporting cast. McCallum has to carry it all, and he does a creditable job -- better than his later years with "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." on TV.
Absolutely smashing British B Noir, filled with a great assortment of character types (including Joan Hickson, who went on to be such a great Miss Jane Marple!) I loved it!
Pretty entertaining movie. Held my interest; even though it didn't take a long time to figure out the culprit.
