Something stinks
I don't know why this film doesn't get much credit. I thought Eastwood's directing and acting were superb. He plays a writer on his last legs like no one I can imagine. He's a loser, a womanizer, a reformed drunk - no one can do that like Eastwood can.
The story is powerful. It is no surprise that there are many on death row who are innocent. The police and prosecution want a quick arrest and conviction to silence an angry public. They ignore evidence, lose evidence, manufacture evidence - they do whatever it takes. This isn't supposition; it is a proved fact over and over and no one ever gets punished for doing it.
Isaiah Washington of Grey's Anatomy (well, not any more) was excellent as the innocent man.
Give this a look.

| What killed this movie for me was the end scene when Eastwood sees Washington shopping and he doesnt even speak to him.......thats not how it would be in real life at all....that man owed his life to Clint..... |

| Isn't Eastwood "on his last legs" in all of his roles now? The guy's older than dirt. |
