Our Experience

Rating:        8/10

This is an excellent movie, however not one to watch everyday or over and over again. It is very heavy and very graphic, not for the weak in the stomach. But it is a movie with a solid story, about something we've all wondered about, and one that questions your morals and your convictions.

Not for kids under 16, and even then I would suggest parental guidance.

Synopsis:

During a home invasion, Clarence Darby rapes & murders the wife and daughter of engineer Clyde Shelton, who is forced to watch. Prosecuting attorney Nick Rice is unable to convict Darby due to mishandled evidence. Unwilling to risk lowering his high conviction rate, he makes a deal with Darby; he testifies against his accomplice Rupert Ames (who only intended to steal from Clyde) so he is convicted and sentenced to death, while Darby pleads guilty to third degree murder and receives a lighter sentence. Clyde feels betrayed by Nick and the justice system.
