Wpis numer 17906 Loyalty: It something we all excpet from our loved ones, but we sorarely receive. How loyal would our families be if we were convicted ofa crime we were innocent of and sent to prison for the rest of lives?Would they put all their worldly desires away to do everything in theirpower to see to our injustice? I dare say that I know that it takes aspecial few that have such perseverance or such conviction.Hilary Swank stars in the film so aptly titled Conviction. Here againSwank portrays the real-life Betty Ann Waters. Betty Ann s brother,Kenny was convicted of a violent murder in their home town inMassachusetts and sent to prison in 1983. Betty Ann and Kenny grew upin a dysfunctional home and were tossed around to a plethora of fosterhomes during their childhood and adolescence. The only family they hadwas each other. Their relationship was so close and intimate that therewas no doubt in her mind that her brother was incapable of murder.Kenny was a self-admitted bad boy. He had been arrested so many timesin their small community that when Kenny s neighbor turned up murderedit seemed to be an easy assumption that Kenny was the perpetrator ofthe crime.Betty Ann had no money for high-paid lawyers and when Kenny tries tokill himself in prison, she came up with a solution to their problem.She will go to college, then law school and then become a lawyer andfind the evidence to set her brother free. This sound like a plotmade-up in a studio office, but it is the true story of this amazingwoman. And, there would be no movie, if Betty Ann s astounding storydidn t have a happy ending.Telling this story is difficult. But the even script by Pamela Grayprovides a good point of departure for Tony Goldwyn s direction and themoving performances by the actors. Without hesitation, Hilary Swank isdefinitely back, her disappointing performance as Amelia Earhart lastyear could have ended her trip down the red carpet to win Oscar goldforever. Her performance playing Betty Ann is subtle and convincing.But it s not just Hilary Swank s performance that should be noted. SamRockwell s portrayal of Kenny Waters is amazing and heart-wrenching.His scenes in prison are remarkable as he so effortlessly depicts thewide range of emotions from complete hopelessness when years ofimprisonment wear on him to utter joy when he learns that his sisterhas done the impossible. And lastly, Minnie Driver makes a greatimpression playing Betty Ann s law school friend. It s a role thatcould garner attention at award time, and hopefully will lead to moreroles in the future.Conviction is one of the best films of the year. Its story ofnever-ending loyalty and love of a sister. It is inspirational anduplifting. This film will make you believe again, that with desire,perseverance and the conviction to never stop trying, almost anythingis possible.For more reviews and news written by Kay Shackleton, see here:www.examiner.com/movie-awards-in-national
