What a waste of a compelling story. This movie never digs deep enough to gain more than a cursory interest. It seems as if a good movie was in there somewhere but they didn't have the inclination or skill to pull it out. It seems like a bunch of scenes sewed together poorly. The brief interactions with the witnesses in the courtroom didn't help to bring the full story to light. The expert testimony from the female medical examiner was stilted and it sounded as if she was reading from a book entitled Forensics 101. The acting left much to be desired. The flat affect of Gabriel Mann as Stu Popper adds nothing except boredom to the character. The movie just leaves one wondering where all the rest of the facts are. Truly disappointing.

Slow and boring
Great story bad movie
I loved the story but the movie was really lacking. This movie is a sad but true story of a person losing his life to a corrupt police officer. If there was more money behind the movie it could have been a good movie.
Great Movie
Hard to watch as you know the outcome a death of a son and the fight for justice against police brutality. Thanks to whoever got this right to show the unending pain of the parents in the quest for justice before they both passed away.
