      Steve D Woods might be an ass but he is one of the best at playing this sort of thing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Engrossing film about the McMartin witch hunt trials. Explores the abuse of power. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing and extremely sad at the same time that this story happened during my time. What was done to this family was the most despicable and heartbreaking story that was built on lies by many in power whom had no concern for the real truth. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A superb movie. And totally factual -- unlike many docudramas (in this movie, they use the court transcript). INCREDIBLE miscarriage of justice -- a modern day Salem witch trial. James Woods is simply outstanding as the defense lawyer. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member James Woods is awesome. Light subject matter. Some quality courtroom drama. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member James Woods, Oliver Stone, gritty bio-drama, awesome :D Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
