DVD Synopsis

An angry cop literally kidnaps a court proceeding in a desperate bid for justice in this made-for-cable drama. Eddie Rios (John Seda) stands accused of the murder of two police officers, but he's found not guilty due to a lack of proper evidence. Steve Donohue (Bill Pullman), the detective who brought Rios in, is outraged by this decision, and in a burst of anger he pulls his gun and holds the defendant, the judge, and the jury hostage, demanding they immediately retry Rios, with Donohue presenting evidence he was forbidden to show the jury due to legal technicalities. Mistrial also stars Robert Loggia, Blair Underwood, and Roma Maffia. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Sandra F. (Sami) from ST PETERSBURG, FL wrote on 6/23/2008...

This actually turned out to be a pretty good movie about a detective who really got screwed by the "system". It shows what a joke our judicial system can be at times. It was worth the watch to see what extremes the cop has to go to to prove the bad guy guilty and to prove his own innocence.
