Never back down

A Time to Kill was filmed in 1996. The movie starts out with two guys brutally beating a raping a young black girl named Tonya. Tonya’s father seeks help from Jake Brigance, a young white lawyer, to convict the men that raped his daughter. Carl Lee, Tonya’s father, goes to the court house and opens fire and kills both the rapist.  Ellan Roark (Sandra Bullock) is a young college student that comes to Jake and asks to help with the case. The case continues, but much harm is brought to Jake and his family. The threats and attacks get to be too much that he has to send his wife and daughter away. When the trail is about to end Roark is kidnapped and taken to the middle of nowhere, where she is beaten and left for dead. She is saved by an informant, Tim. When Carl Lee’s last trail date comes up, he get up on the stand and tells the jury how he felt about his daughter beat and raped. When the jury comes back from making their decision, he is proclaimed not guilty.

This movie was excellent. Roark (Sandra Bullock) is a very strong willed lady. After being beaten she gets right back to doing her job on the case. She lets nothing stop her in this movie!
