Trial by Fire

3 çocuğunu yanarak ölmesine neden olan 1 baba, mahkemede suçlu bulunup idam cezası alır. Filmin hızlı 30 dakikasından sonra, idamdan kurtulma çabalarını izliyoruz. Jack O'Connell çok iyi. Manchester By The Sea yumruk atmış. Kaliteli 1 yapım. Laura Dern geç geliyor. Filmin sonunda, mahkum kurtulamıyor. Avukatlar tesisatçı gibidir. Parayı verdiklerinde her işi başarırlar.

Real missed opportunity to explore a horrifying and under-reported chapter of modern legal history: that until very recently American arson investigation had zero obligation to science, its esoteric teachings passed down to initiates like folk magic after very little training. And so has murdered and sent away many. One of the former happened to be the wife-beating P.O.S. this is about. All the family drama and Dead Man Walking stuff is DOA; needed more Dr. Hurst (RIP noble giant). Watch the doc

Half-baked, kind of clunky in the second half and not very well-directed, despite the leads' efforts. At least it is another recent trial drama that points out how the legal system is totally broken in US, specially in Texas.
