Member Movie Reviews Anne K. Reviewed on 6/22/2008... I watched this the other day and was surprised at how good it was. The story has a twist at the end you don't see coming. The story never gets boring and the acting is good. If you like courtroom dramas, its along those lines. Worth a watch. This movies proves you don't need blockbuster names to tell a great story. 2 of 2 member(s) found this review helpful.  Hilda S. from YORKTOWN, VA Reviewed on 5/4/2008... This was a really good movie about a woman awaiting her execution on death row. Outstanding performances by Aidan Quinn and Kelly Preston as they work to free a woman they feel is innocent. Edge of your seat thriller. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.
Movie ReviewsQuiet Tone Poem in Muskogee D. Dailey | Austin, Texas United States | 11/09/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Back in 1984, the hit at the Canne Film Festival was another quiet and cerebral film called Paris, Texas - directed by the German director Wim Wenders (but that was then, and this is now). Here, we get the Danish director Billy August creating a hypnotic imaging of desolate Oklahoma small towns, an innocent woman on death row, and the various players around her story in the last days leading up to her execution. As always, Aidan Quinn is just right for his part as a complex lawyer turned tabloid huckster and alcoholic, who finally finds redemption in the last motel on the rain slick streets. But the real standout here is the always underrated Connie Nielsen, who smolders in this performance and the chemistry between her and Quinn is what great movies (and their moments) are made of. I guess in this age of mindless reality TV, films of this quiet beauty, intelligence, and grace are just too slow, pondering, and challenging for today's audiences. Too bad - this film is a keeper and a real gem!" Conviction C. A. Luster | Burke, VA USA | 09/07/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Aidan Quinn is great as a washed out attorney that now sells death row inmate letters to the media. He corresponds with inmates to get their last letter to sell for a great deal of money. When he meets a woman on death row, played by Connie Nielsen, his attitude changes and we see there is more to him than first thought. This has a good cast and excellent acting. The drama becomes a thriller as the clock ticks down till her execution. When Quinn finds evidence that she in fact is not guilty of kidnapping or murdering a little girl. It may not have lots of scenery but it makes up for it in drama. I highly recommend you at least rent it. I think there is a good chance you will want to buy it. Not appropriate for young children. If you enjoy this be sure to catch "Perfect Witness"."
