If you loved Falling Down, try A Time to Kill

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Joel Schumacher, and they both carry the bittersweet, raw mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Falling Down, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Time to Kill is

Mississippi, summer, a porch creaks. A young girl lies in a hospital bed, her father stands accused, a small town seethes. Schumacher tackles racial tension in the deep south.
