    Presenting Facts
    If you like your drama/thriller to be stricken of big emotions and presenting "facts" to you, you will like this. But even without having seen the (supposedly and very likely) better documentary on the three kids that went to trial (yes this is based on a true story, if you haven't already checked that fact out), I am missing something here, even with all the acting talent involved.

    The smallest roles still get a recognizable face for many people to see (the issue/real-life event has drawn much controversy and still is being discussed by many), which is a nice thing. But just drawing by numbers/events happening is not helping the movie much. It could've used a bit more real emotion, a bit more hindsight into motivation of some "characters".
