Review of The Chamber

The Chamber (1996)
Good story, good actors, good acting but BAD director
27 September 2004
it's the worst Grisham-adapted movie ever !! too bad, good story from a novel about a man should be punished in gas chamber. The bad script ruins everything. This movie is a very good example of how a BAD director and a bad script can ruin a supposedly good movie with good story, good actors and good acting. The director who directed two Madonna-related movies :At CLose Range and Who's That Girl (Which both suck) doesn't really understand the novel I think. I think he should've read some Grisham books and watch all Grisham-based movies The movie loses the touching and key points of the story of the original novel. This movie is such a Disappointment for John Grisham fans. But for those of you who haven't read the book, this movie might be entertaining for you at least with good Oscar caliber actor (Gene Hackman, Faye Dunaway) combined with a young fresh actor Chris O'Donnell.
