How far would you go in the name of friendship?
27 November 2001 | by michaelRokeefe – See all my reviews

A decent, but slow made-for-TV drama. Directed by Micki Dickoff, a documentary film maker(Veronica Hamel)puts her career on hold to investigate the conviction of a childhood friend(Mimi Rogers)imprisoned for the deaths of two police officers in Florida. Periodic nerve jangling breaks up boredom and predictable ending. Featured in minor roles are:Polly Bergen, Piper Laurie and Denise Richards.
