My quick rating - 7,3/10. One quick comment and then the movie. Racism is pathetic. Ok, so this movie is very powerful and the fact the subject is less than 20 years old is frightening. Blacks in Alabama being put on death row for absolutely no reason and given no chance for a fair trial is horrible. Enter in Michael b Jordans character Bryan, who is a hot shot lawyer who just wants to do right for the people straight out of Harvard. One of his first cases is that of Jamie Fox (real life victim Walter McMillian) who sits on death row for being wrongfully identified by another WHITE inmate who is coerced into fingering him as the murderer. The acting in this film is astounding. No spoiler but in one scene Jordans character says more with a solid stare and not a single word than most can muster up with entire dialogues. I don't like to have to feel good about endings such as this, since I would prefer the situations did not happen in the first place, but they still do. See my first comment.
