"Great Story"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is a great film – just a great story driven by the plot and the actors, no special effects, no fancy tricks, no fast editing. The type of film sorely lacking these days, at least from Hollywood.

After saying that, it does move along nicely, it's not slow at all. Take the time to watch it, you won't be disappointed.

"Great true story"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

One of the best life dramas Ive seen in a while and superbly directed with a top cast. Just a unique and powerful testimony of the bonds that can exist between two siblings. A modern lesson on how a life event can make someone choose a path they never dreamed of going down and that's the big inspiration here. Hillary Swank, Minnie Driver and Sam Rockwell at the top of their game is the icing on a great movie.

Description

Conviction

Two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell deliver unforgettable performances in this incredible true story that co-stars Minnie Driver, Juliette Lewis and Peter Gallagher. Swank plays Betty Anne Waters, a young woman whose world is shattered when her beloved brother Kenny (Rockwell) is convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. Steadfastly convinced of his innocence, Betty Anne embarks on an 18-year journey to set Kenny free, using state-of-the-art forensic technology. The unshakable bond between a brother and sister, at the heart of this real-life drama, will stir your emotions and inspire you.

Special Features:

  • Widescreen Theatrical Feature
  • A Conversation with Tony Goldwyn & Betty Anne Waters

Critic Reviews:

  • " The film's depiction of Betty Anne's passionate crusade to exonerate Kenny is well done, generating a gripping, but balanced, momentum. " – Joanne Laurier
  • " Rockwell displays an impressive transformation as Kenny and Swank is outstanding in a role that will likely garner Academy Award attention. " – Mike Massie
  • " This IS an inspirational story, not even made less so if you happen to know how this story ultimately turned out. " – Richard Propes
