"Conviction" is the inspirational true story of a sister's unwavering devotion to her brother. When Betty Anne Waters' (two-time Academy® Award winner Hilary Swank) older brother Kenny (Sam Rockwell) is arrested for murder and sentenced to life in 1983, Betty Anne, a Massachusetts wife and mother of two, dedicates her life to overturning the murder conviction. Convinced that her brother is innocent, Betty Anne puts herself through high school, college and, finally, law school in an 18 year quest to free Kenny. With the help of best friend Abra Rice (Academy Award nominee Minnie Driver), Betty Anne pours through suspicious evidence mounted by small town cop Nancy Taylor (Academy Award nominee Melissa Leo), meticulously retracing the steps that led to Kenny's arrest. Belief in her brother - and her quest for the truth - pushes Betty Anne and her team to uncover the facts and utilize DNA evidence with the hope of exonerating Kenny.

Sam Rockwell is getting better and better with time...I love him in Movie Moon..

Trailer looks pretty good! Definetly gonna watch it on DVD!

[SBfreak]

I loved "moon" too but this looks too dramatizing and movies "based on true stories"(come on:rolleyes2:) usually tend to exaggerate things.

I'm not really the biggest fan of Moon. but I do admit that Rockwell did his part well.

This movie does seem like quite the cliche.
