Murder. Mystery. True story. All things I love about a movie. Take a look at the trailer. It draws you in, wants to be watched. Unfortunately, about an hour into the movie, I didn't feel the same way at all. The story follows Matt Harper, a reporter for the Nashville Times, as he digs into the facts about the murder of a young African American boy nineteen years earlier. This story has all the raw material to be a great movie, but the writing was just awful. The characters are quite shallow and their behavior is very cliché. The story starts meandering about and has a hard time keeping your interest to the end. The acting was ok, but not great. Bottom line: the trailer made promises the full movie did not deliver.
