True Crime (1999)
Not a bad one..try it
11 May 2009
One of my bad habit is; I use to check the reviews here when I rent my movies before actually watching it. Upon reading the reviews I too was a bit reluctant in watching this. OK..I thought of giving it a try anyway. And surprisingly; this movies turns out to be very engaging, fast moving, and keep you 'glued' to your seat one! There is humour, suspense, emotional at times and keep you edge of your seat climax. Eastwood plays and directs Steve Everett, a womanizer and a broken husband who accidentally gets the chance to interview Beechum (Washington)behind bar and who is on his last minutes to death sentence. Everett believes that Beechum is innocent and then tries to find the truth himself before it gets too late. Story is good, characters are interesting. The scenes between Washington; the soon-to-be-died husband and his wife (Hamilton) and their kid is well written and done. The 'suspense factor' revealing scene could have been better.

Not definitely a must watch but a not to be missed one to an extend!
