Last weekend, we watched Conviction with Hilary Swank and Melissa Leo. It is based on a true story of a brother and sister, Betty Anne and Kenny. Kenny is wrongfully accused of a murder and is sent to jail for many years. Betty Anne knows he did not commit the murder & devises a plan to free him.
The plan is that she will go to law school, become a lawyer, and overturn the conviction of her brother.
We both felt this movie was boring. It was sort of long & drawn out. Hilary Swank has a terrible Boston accent, too. haha Ironically, Minnie Driver is also in this film with an American accent! She played the role of the supportive friend but she was really an unnecessary accessory.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this film. It's a good story but something about it wasn't executed right.
