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.
