CONVICTION: AMAZING VERDICTI love my brother so very much, but even with some college already under my belt, I am not so sure that if he were convicted of murdering someone that I would go to law school, become a lawyer and fight for his innocence. However, that's just what our lead character does in this film. Betty Ann Waters (played by Hilary Swank) finds herself on a roller coaster of
victories and defeats as she does her best to free her imprisoned brother Kenny (played by a fabulous Sam Rockwell). Both actors give very strong performances and the rest of the cast is outstanding. Juliette Lewis is mesmerizing. There are no small parts just small actors. While the story inspiring, feels more like a Lifetime movie of the week than it does a feature film. It was well done, just didn't grab me.
