Audience Member Inquietante rappresentazione del sistema giudiziario americano in questa storia vera in cui tutti gli elementi sono costruiti in modo tale da rendere il più evidente possibile l'ingiustizia compiuta e la pericolosità della pena di morte come condanna. Jack O'Connell non sfrutta a pieno l'occasione, la sua interpretazione è buona, soprattutto quando può sfogare la sua voce, mentre resta più impalpabile ed impenetrabile quando si entra nella psicologia: stesso discorso per Laura Dern, buona samaritana a cui però manca il guizzo di simpatia. Mancano in maniera abbastanza evidente le testimonianze o almeno qualche fotogramma dei veri personaggi e del vero evento. Vista la propensione del film a rendere il più visibile possibile l'ingiustizia compiuta, qualche spunto della vera faccenda avrebbe aiutato. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review toby h Trial by Fire is an old fashioned courtroom drama with a wonderful turn by O'Connell in the lead. It's a powerful story which looks at the wider issues of capital punishment. Injustice is served. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member You can comment on the production values, you can comment on the quality of the dramatic performances and to be fair, they are good. However, an hour in all I can see is a left wing, do gooder moral tale of; the death penalty's is wrong. There is no drama, no real story, no suspense, it just plods slowly along to any eventual conclusion that is designed to convince you that the death penalty is wrong. That's not entertaining that's propaganda. If you want to be preached to and listen to a morality tale, fine. If you want drama, intrigue, drama, suspense, entertainment, an kind of story, pretty much anything that doesn't make you feel like an idiot, well, watch something else. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful movie, cast well and directed superbly. It leads one to believe the opposite happens of the true narrative, which makes it somewhat shocking at the end, and left me in tears. Must watch! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best done movies I've ever seen. Yes, it's about a prisoner on death row, and that is a very touchy subject, but I was enthralled every minute w this movie. Great, thought provoking film. Laura Dern was at her best. This movie may not be for everyone, but I thought it was excellent.
