The Chamber 06

Chris O'Donnell is the young lawyer who takes on the defence of his bad ol' grandpappy Gene Hackman, awaiting his inevitable fate on death row. But the fact he's a nasty ex-Klansman doesn't make him a murderer. Or maybe it does... Thriller based on John Grisham's twisty bestseller.

Review

An old Ku Klux Klan activist (Gene Hackman) sits in Death Row awaiting execution for a bombing years before that cost the lives of twin boys.

His lawyer grandson (Chris O'Donnell), whose father committed suicide and whose aunt (Faye Dunaway) is an alcoholic, arrives to fight the case.

Hackman is as reliable as usual as the dead man walking while O'Donnell - whither he now? - prudently lets him steal the show.
