Movie Reviews

  • Ed Zwick's furious new film stumbles as a drama, but Laura Dern and Jack O'Connell make it a compelling argument against the death penalty; "Trial by Fire" works in spite of its stylelessness
    Review rate : C+ by David Ehrlich [Indiewire ]
  • a powerful drama; Zwick shows the failings of the justice system while not letting Willingham entirely off the hook. Jack O'Connell and Laura Dern, meanwhile, find the common ground in their characters that keeps "Trial by Fire" simmering
    Review rate : B by Adam Graham [Detroit News ]
  • "Trial by Fire" is not a feel-good movie. It's a feel-bad movie. Yet somehow, if you go in expecting that, you might enjoy it in a weird way
    3 of 4 by Mick LaSalle [San Fransisco Chronicle ]
  • "Trial by Fire" is at its best when attacking the prosecution's bad science. Unfortunately, the film would rather try, and fail, to tug on the audience's heartstrings
    Review rate : C- by Amy Nicholson [Variety ]
