Customer Reviews

Pretty good TV movie
This is a pretty good "wrong man" courtroom drama with a handful of known actors. John Corbett is the defendant, Army Sgt. Tim Hennis, who is charged with rape and murder. Rue McClanahan and Hal Holbrook play his parents. Rick Schroeder and Tom Irwin play the defense attorneys.

Hennis is convicted on rather flimsy evidence and spends time in prison until an eventual re-trial, where new evidence is presented and old evidence is reviewed.

It all wraps up a bit too warm and fuzzy with a bit of bad dialogue between the defense attorneys, but is generally entertaining and well made.

Funny that my "play anything" Zenith DVD player does not recognize the disk (out of 500 I have) but it plays fine on my portable Coby and computer drive...

Disappointed
when i first got the movie it would not play in one of my dvd players, so i called the company i got it from and they sent another one it did the same thing.......sooooo i got to see the first half of the movie but could never get the second part to play in any dvd player.
