With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and anyone who loves watching the truth get chased down. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Liked A Man for All Seasons or Touch of Evil? This is a good next one. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
When reporter Nicki Barrington investigates a man on death row for the murder of a young woman, she discovers the evidence was circumstantial and has his conviction overturned. After she falls in love with him, she is nagged by doubts of his innocence.
