Trial by Fire (2018)
Directed by Edward
Zwick this film based on real events stars Jack O'Connell, Laura Dern
and Emily Meade. A man is sent to death row for allegedly killing his
three children after getting little in the way of a legal defence.
Clearly this film has
an agenda right from the start but it is hard to argue with the
assertion that the central character never got a fair trial. For
those of us against the death penalty this is just another reminder
of why it is a terrible idea. A slightly more subtle or nuanced take
on the subject matter might worked a little better to convert people
who think differently.
3/5
