Conviction


This is a great film based on a true story, starring Hilary Swank as Betty Anne Waters, and Sam Rockwell as her brother Kenny. Kenny is convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1983 for the murder of Katharina Brow. for the next 18 years, Betty Anne is tries to prove her brother's innocence.

Rockwell and Swank both delivered great performances! The film has drama and suspense without giving you a heart attack. It's a great story with great execution through this film. I mean, it shows a very biased point of view of the story, but that is the point of the film. It's a very inspiring movie. It doesn't take itself too seriously, either--it has some funny parts to it. Rockwell's character is great! I know I been giving a lot of A's lately, but this one is definitely deserving of it!

Overall Grade: A
