Conviction | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

It's the emotion of the film that truly keeps it afloat.

Goldwyn has spent the bulk of his career in television and, frankly, it shows: there is a flat, matter of fact, artlessness to his mise en scene and to his characters.

Were this film attempted before the days of OJ Simpson, it would never would fly. Now, Tony Goldwyn has given it wings based on the film's own conviction.

Conviction does have its big, predictable emotional moments, but it's steady and thoughtful enough to do more than hit the expected notes.

If you can silence the cynic within yourself and allow those few overly sentimental transgressions to slide, then there's no reason to not enjoy Conviction.
