Celica smrti - The Chamber

Slovenski opis filma:

Film pripoveduje zgodbo o idealističnem mladem odvetniku, ki se mora soočiti s temačnimi družinskimi skrivnostmi. Čez 28 dni bodo usmrtili morilca in rasista Sama Cayhalla, ki je pred skoraj tridesetimi leti z bombo ubil dva otroka. Zdaj ga med odštevanjem zadnjih dni obišče vnuk Adam, neizkušen odvetnik, ki ga bo poskušal rešiti. Adam uporabi vse možne pravne prijeme, da bi preprečil izvršitev kazni. S svojo prošnjo se nazadnje obrne na guvernerja, ki ima končno odločitev v svojih rokah. Obenem je Adam prepričan, da je Sam nedolžen, zato bi rad našel pravega morilca. Ura pa medtem neusmiljeno tiktaka naprej.

Originalni opis filma:

Having survived the hatred and bigotry that was his Klansman grandfather's only legacy, young attorney Adam Hall seeks at the last minute to appeal the old man's death sentence for the murder of two small Jewish boys 30 years before. Only four weeks before Sam Cayhall is to be executed, Adam meets his grandfather for the first time in the Mississippi prison which has held him since the crime. The meeting is predictably tense when the educated, young Mr. "Hall" confronts his venom-spewing elder, Mr. "Cayhall," about the murders. The next day, headlines run proclaiming Adam the grandson who has come to the state to save his grandfather, the infamous Ku Klux Klan bomber. While the old man's life lies in the balance, Adam's motivation in fighting this battle becomes clear as the story unfolds. Not only does he fight for his grandfather, but perhaps for himself as well. He has come to heal the wounds of his own father's suicide, to mitigate the secret shame he has always felt for the genetic fluke which made this man his grandfather, and to bring closure -- one way or another -- to the suffering the old man seems to have brought to everyone he has ever known. But, would mercy soften his grandfather's heart?
