Not bad.....not great....but the performances by Hilary Swank, Mimmie Driver and Sam Rockwell are fantastic.

User review rating: 3 November 22, 2010

A bit slow at times, but the performances by Swank and Rockwell are amazing - the acting saves teh pitfalls of the movie.

A little long at times but Hillary Swank ... wonderful

User review rating: 4 November 19, 2010

This is a story that would be hard to believe if it wasn't true.Hillary Swank as Betty Ann who attends law school for the express purpose of freeing her wrongly convicted brother is remarkable and Sam Rockwell delivers another fine performance as the unlikeable Kenny.The great Juliette Lewis criminally robs scenes in a scenary-chewing cameo that is all too short.Incidentally ,it is not mentioned in the end credits thst Kenny died in a fall shortly after his release and that Betty Ann continues to advocate on behalf of the wrongly accused and convicted. It's sad that this fine flick failed to generate much boxoffice heat.Further, it is a dismal state of affairs that audiences favour stuff lik

Hilary Swank gives an Oscar worthy performance in this movie based on a real life event. As the sister who never gives up on her brother, she is superb, showing love, tenacity and an ability to rise above her circumstances to have her brother released. I was mesmerized by the performances of all the main characters and the movie touched me more deeply than I imagined it could. This is a movie you don't forget when you leave the theatre - these characters will live in your heart for a long time after. Bravo and well done!

My husband and I saw this at the TIFF and were inspired by the story of a sisters dedication to her brother. True stories are always a favorite of mine.

So what do you think - will Hilary see an Oscar nod this year for Conviction?

User review rating: 4 November 07, 2010

This is a must see movie, if only to see how sometimes the justice system does not work properly. Hilary Swank was as always fantastic, she is right on the money in this role. Loved the movie and I left the theatre feeling good for a change.

Well-acted, well-written film based on a heart-wrenching true saga.

User review rating: 3 November 05, 2010

Hilary Swank did a great job and so did Lewis ..but the story is very true when it comes to bullies at work...especially when it comes to authority ...it seems too many get away with unfair justice.

Excellent movie. Both actors did an excellent work. It was sad to see how some poor police work and discremination could destroy people live.

Excellent movie

User review rating: 3 November 02, 2010

I went to see this movie and although the movie was interesting, I guess that I expected some John Grisham style creative licensing. The suspence was lacking and at times somewhat inappropriate. The lagging wait for the evidence box is a prime example. That scene could have been punched up a few notches to give the audience something to chew on as the end result of the story was much publicized. I am all for honesty in movies but I do like to be entertained in the end and as moving as this movie was, I did find that my thumbs twittling offered me more action that Hillary Swank did.

This film should be called Committment because it is more about Betty Anne`s committment to her brother Kenny.

User review rating: 4 November 01, 2010

A true story of determination, courage and belief. Ms. Swank is exceptional but even more so is the real woman she plays. A tough story to portray on-screen but the writers and director pull it off.

User review rating: 4 October 30, 2010

Great movie and superb acting.

User review rating: 1 October 30, 2010

unbelievable story line...filthy language.it makes me wonder how close it followed the story line.

User review rating: 2 October 29, 2010

Conviction should be titled - "My Brother is Innocent! - The Betty Anne Waters Story" and aired on the W network. The screenplay is far too weak for a theatrical motion picture. The films is saved somewhat by strong performances from its leads. 2 stars.

this was a great drama, great movie

User review rating: 4 October 28, 2010

Stellar cast that takes you on a journey into a woman's educational struggle to beat the justice system to release her brother from imprisonment.

User review rating: 5 October 28, 2010

This was a really great movie particularly as it was a true story! Hilary Swank is an amazing actress and is growing more every movie. Minnie Driver was absolutely super too!

User review rating: 4 October 27, 2010

Great movie. the only down part is that it felt super long. The movie kind of dragged a bit. Great story though...
