Double meaning: the sister of a convicted murderer has complete conviction in his innocence. He may be a ne’er-do-well, but he ne’er did as bad as that. The true case, a DNA exoneration case, serves as an advertisement for the Innocence Project, with a specific plug for Barry Scheck, glamorized in the person of Peter Gallagher. The principal perform-ances — Hilary Swank, Sam Rockwell, Minnie Driver, Melissa Leo, Juliette Lewis, Clea DuVall — really slather on the proletarianism, the main thing separating the film from the Lifetime Movie Network, an inspirational tale of faith, perseverance, triumph. Director Tony Goldwyn, fiddling like mad with the focus, isn’t happy unless something in every shot is a blur. (2010) — Duncan Shepherd
