Deseret News (Salt Lake City)

Howard Pearson

One of the year's most arresting motion pictures.

Honestly and resourcefully filmed, the picture was shot, for the most part, against the Chicago backgrounds where the actual events took place.

From unexpected witnesses to faulty probing to a nerve-wracking lie detector test to suspicious testimony, it covers all the bases when it comes to a police procedural.

...the film is more than just a stylistic curio, it's a portent of things to come.
