The entire cast did a great job in their parts...very believable performances, I appreciate the insite into Hilary & Sam's character's childhood problems, therefore developing them into the people they grew up to be. Sam's character was a totally self-absorbed jack-ass...without their brother/sister extreme bond, there wouldv'e been no way anyone would've wanted to devote years of their life to help this guy out. Growing up, Hilary & Sam only had eachother to rely on so it made sense that she would dedicate her life for her brother but as an outside observer, it was hard to
imagine giving up your husband, and to an extent your kids to only focus on your "loser" brother's problems...she ended up making the right decision, but you can't help wondering if his temper won't flare up once more and he'll end up back in trouble.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A true story that evokes a warmth and sense of real love. Nothing else gives you the strength to keep going as Hillary Swank did for her brother. The childhood scenes were touching and set an understanding of the closeness of brother and sister. Very believable acting on both parts. It was so nice to watch a movie free from the sex and violence we are getting so accustomed to watching...a movie for the heart.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Fine acting as expected by the high caliber actors in the movie. Juliette Lewis was amazing.
The film was overall entertaining because of the acting, but the script was highly predictable. There were no surprises, no side stories.
It felt like driving down a straight road crossing through the desert, with nothing to see on either side but the expected final destination.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The screenplay for this movie was fantastic. All of the acting was outstanding, very real. The actress who played the alcoholic who testified against him at the original trial was totally authentic. They kept it moving, told the story the way it happened and the way it needed to be told without exaggeration. I have already told people about it and highly recommend it. It was a story that was true, needed to be told. The sister is a heroine and Hillary Swank made this clear in her portrayal.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

We've waited all summer for a movie we wanted to go to the theater to watch; this one fit the bill and we weren't disappointed. Hilary did a superb job. The fact that it was based on a true story made it all the more creditable, and it was told and portrayed well. I could watch it a second time. I did wish they told what Kennie was doing since his release.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I saw this movie last night with my husband. I wanted to go see a romantic comedy or something light, but he really wanted to see this. I have no regrets. This is a really really good movie. Hilary Swank transformed herself into a very believable Southern woman who is overwhelmed with her life, but focused on proving her brother is innocent. Minnie Driver is adorable. Sam Rockwell is brilliant and believable. If there were not based on a true story, I'm not sure I could totally "buy" the whole story, but it was and it is truly amazing and worth seeing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Terrific acting by Hilary Swank, Minnie Driver, and other actors. Compelling true story of a real hero, "Conviction's" themes of human connection, believing against all odds, perseverance, and love make this a redemptive and satisfying movie to watch.

Conviction is based on a true story. The film is well-made and well-acted. Nothing appears sugar-coated and the story does a decent job of covering nearly 30 years in the lives of the primary characters in just 107 minutes. All of the actors were in peak form but a special acknowledgment must go out to both Sam Rockwell and Juliette Lewis! Believed every ounce of their on-screen personas! Amazing! An inspiring story that will underscore the power of the human spirit and sibling love in times of intense emotional tribulation. A triumphant true life tale and an almost equally well-done movie! Don't miss it!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Hilary Swank is terrific as the sister who won't give up to save her brother. In one of the many flashbacks in the film, Rockwell's character saves his sister from a couple of cops who discover them trespassing. He's very protective of his sister! And, the sister gets to return the favor. It's a touching, well told story of a sister and a brother who love each other. I was expecting this film to be a disappointment, but I was wrong. It's a must-see for those who like drama, and especially courtroom drama!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This was an extraordinary movie that kept me at the edge of my seat. The casting and performances were perfect, and I assumed it would be a Hollywood "formulaic" movie, but upon researching the facts after seeing this film, it was far from formulaic. Tony Goldwyn has the DNA to be an outstanding filmmaker, and he sure achieved greatness with this one. He made some very unusual choices, which only enhanced the "thriller" aspect of the film. I see that it has been compared to "Erin Brochovich," but I think its depth in story and characterization far exceeds that movie (although I enjoyed "Erin"---just not as much as this). Also, I'm a New Englander (from CT, not MA), so I almost felt "at home." I'm sure it will get many Oscar nods and hopefully Oscar wins. A great movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
