Review of Conviction (2010) by Driver8207003 — 22 Oct 2010
For all of the pro criticism that this film plays like a lifetime movie, the fact is......the facts........ the movie intentionally goes for the simple truths, rather than enhancing it hollywood style to get sentimental.
It's a thoroughly enjoyable movie, especially by the superlative cast. While Hillary Swank does her usual great work, Sam Rockwell is stellar as the hometown thug/goofball who turns into a beaten man.
And Melissa Leo as the police officer who does him in is so startling real, I loved and detested her. Go see this movie for a grade A production of a decent script.
