Great movie, loved the acting, and the storyline... Hilary Swank did a phenominal job... the movie reminded me of Erin Brokovich in a way... definatly worth checking it out!
Maybe not 4 stars but probably slightly better than 3. Strictly drama. Acting is fairly good, and story had weak spots. Rent, don't buy. It's not one you'll want to go back and watch again, ************* entertaining.
thought it was a terrific movie.....sam rockwell was just great...the love these siblings had was unbelievable...what a great sister....we all should be so lucky...i wanted to find out how he made out after 18 years in prision & read of his sad death 6 months
Really great movie! worth seeing! the acting was fantastic, the story line keeps you interested, definitely see it.

It would be easy to dismiss Conviction on the ground that it plays like a made-for-television movie, but the truth is that, as often as not, movies made for the small screen are better than this: braver, darker, more willing to explore odd corners of feeling. Full Review

The film falls short of delivering the outrage and uplift that should have come easy for this true-life fight against justice denied. Unfortunately, that makes Conviction more a trial than a triumph. Full Review

Emerges as a potent inspirational story on the strength of its two lead performances. Full Review

The strongest, most consistent performance is provided by Sam Rockwell, who displays a wide and convincing range of emotions. Full Review

Wall Street Journal
Some of the movie's most stirring scenes take place during Betty Anne's prison visits, when the laughter has stopped and her innocent brother contemplates his shattered life. Full Review
