Review of Just Mercy (2019) by Ty Burr for Boston Globe — 08 Jan 2020
As true-story dramas about innocent men on death row go, Just Mercy is just above average. I still hope it reaches the widest audience possible. To quote a statistic cited in the film, for every nine prisoners executed in this country, one is found to have been wrongfully convicted.
That’s a number to shame a nation.
