Review of Conviction (2010) by Lisa N — 22 Aug 2011
Does Hilary Swank ever not play extraordinary women? It's getting to where whenever I see her in a movie, I expect her to do something inspirational. Seems to me thatâ(TM)s a dangerous role to become typecast in.
This is a straightforward crusading attorney story in the Erin Brokovich mold, and also, like that earlier movie, based on a true story. Probably because the director and producers stick so close to the truth, this movie lacks some of the gee whiz glory and impact of Erin Brokovich .
.. it's ordinary and everyday in the way it comes across. There aren't many fireworks, but it's solid and workmanlike, well worth your time.
