Bill's Comments

This is another of the "Late 2001" movies released at this time to get maximum Oscar consideration. It is a very intense drama that will likely acheive its goal of getting nominations for one or more actors, at least. It takes a look at the sometimes unfulfilling judicial process that we all became aware of with O. J. Simpson. I thought it was very good and would definitely recommend it. However, it is not intended for that day when you just want some light entertainment. Go see it when you are looking for some serious stuff.
