Conviction (2010)
Based on real events this film is directed by Tony Goldwyn and stars Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell. A single mother devotes her life to earning a law degree so she can get her brothers false conviction for murder over turned.
While there are legal elements to this film it is not really a legal drama but more an issue of the week TV movie. There are good performances from the lead cast and this is no doubt a compelling if slightly manipulative film where it need not be. Despite being well made there is not much new or revolutionary about this film.
3/5
