    3/10
    Some talented actors, wasted
    This is being written to counter all the 10/10 review written by the friends and relatives of the above-the-line crew. This is an abysmal film built around a decent premise, that wastes the talents of pretty much every actor involved. The constant switching to talk shows discussing the crime is full of self-importance, the "twist" is annoying, and the trial is just pure, hot garbage. Honestly, without some of the actors' efforts (not the lead, though... he was terrible), this would have rated zero stars. And for those of you praising the lack of profanity... Yes, isn't that just terrific? So clean and wholesome... Oh, except for the genuine footage of a young black man being shot through the head at close range. Yeah... So good that this was free from profanity. Dull AND disgusting.
