Conviction
A strong sibling bond compels a sister (Hilary Swank) to study law so she can free her brother (Sam Rockwell) from prison. Since it’s based on a true story, it is very predictable and thus anticlimactic. Despite their great performances, Swank and Rockwell portray unsympathetic characters. The story feels rather dated and pales in comparison to today’s TV CSI crime dramas. The movie is flat without much highs or lows.
Alien gives it 2 "digging for the evidence" stars out of 4.
