In a world where a large minority (ie all adult men) believe that if they were falsely accused they wouldn't get a fair shake in court, a film showing the side of the voiceless needed to be made. In a move out of character of the woke masses in Hollywood ,( or woke pretending at least), filmakers give us a rare glimps into what unfortunately happens all too often -a man is falsey accused and every means he uses to defend himself is batted away like so many OJ Simpson pineata heads at an LPGA event. The story is a great one of grit and perserverance, but unfortunately it has a cheap, "made for tv/movie of the week" feel about it. The shooting looks low rent, and the screeplay has an artificial way about it. No offense but, If they had had some more experianced writers maybe , and it wasn't so slow paced, the maudlin feel would have been usruped by tru grit . At least they finally made a film about this side of the isle, even if it had a "", K mart feel to it.
