Conviction

Conviction

Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell are two of the best actors that are currently working in Hollywood at the moment and they have joined forces for Conviction.

Swank was last seen on the big screen last year when she took on the role of Amelia Earhart in the biopic picture while Iron Man 2 was the last movie for Rockwell.

Directed by Tony Goldwyn the movie is based on the true story of Betty Anne Waters, who fought for justice for her brother.

When Kenny is arrested for murder and sentenced to life in 1983, his sister Betty Anne, a Massachusetts wife and mother of two, dedicates her life to overturning the murder conviction.

Convinced that her brother is innocent, Betty Anne puts herself through high school, college and, finally, law school in an 18 year quest to free Kenny.

With the help of best friend Abra Rice, Betty Anne pores through suspicious evidence mounted by small town cop Nancy Taylor, meticulously retracing the steps that led to Kenny's arrest.

Belief in her brother - and her quest for the truth - pushes Betty Anne and her team to uncover the facts and utilize DNA evidence with the hope of exonerating Kenny.

Take a look at a couple of clips from the movie:
