Entertainment Reviews:
Were this film attempted before the days of OJ Simpson, it would never would fly. Now, Tony Goldwyn has given it wings based on the film's own conviction.

Behind The Lens
[P]owerful, a tale of justice served told with respectful restraint by directory Tony Goldwyn....The filmmakers handle time shifts gracefully, and the casting is choice... -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
A major plus is that little attempt is made to make the wrongly convicted brother appear likable.

Guardian
Rating: B+ --
For the big screen, it didn't hold up as strong but did manage to hash out a good story led by strong performances regardless.

Reel Talk Online
Rating: B+ --
Conviction does have its big, predictable emotional moments, but it's steady and thoughtful enough to do more than hit the expected notes.

Assignment X
Rockwell busts through with a spectacular peformance....It's Rockwell who gives CONVICTION the jolts of ferocity and feeling it needs.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 2/5 --
Schmaltzy and lacking dramatic drive.

Product Description:
As children, Betty Anne Waters (Hilary Swank) and her brother, Kenny (Sam Rockwell), survived bad parenting and poverty by leaning on each other for support. Kenny grows up to be something of a troublemaker, eventually being convicted for a murder he swears he didn't commit. His sister believes him and, without even a high-school diploma, sets about going to law school in order to figure out a way to free him. She gets a GED, then graduates law school with the help of her only friend (Minnie Driver). She eventually gets the attention of O.J. Simpson defense attorney Barry Scheck (Peter Gallagher), who runs an organization devoted to overturning wrongful convictions by analyzing DNA evidence with tests that were unavailable at the time the cases were tried. When he agrees to help her -- if she can find the old blood evidence -- Betty plows her way through the legal complications that stand between her brother and his freedom. Tony Goldwyn directs this drama inspired by a true story.
