Movie Review

True Crime is not an action movie, and it is not a who-done-it movie either. In television shows, like Matlock, and countless court movies, someone is always found for blame, and it is usually not the defendant.

And the best thing about True Crime is that it does not take place inside the courtroom. Full movie review »
