Hilary Swank stars in a controversial role in her latest film

Hilary Swank
Hilary Swank stars in a controversial role in her latest film. "Conviction". The following review of the film comes from a Boston Globe Writer who gives Hilary Swank and the film a B+ grade. From the review: Who killed Katharina Brow, and is Hilary Swank her generation's Meryl Streep? These are the questions you might ask yourself after watching Tony Goldwyn's Ayer, Massachusetts iinspired, true-crime-and- redemption drama "Conviction."

Beginning more or less with the 1983 conviction of Kenneth Waters for the gruesome murder of neighbor Brow, the film is a genuinely moving experience, a tribute to great acting and a movie Attorney General Martha Coakley probably wishes hadn't come in an election year. The supporting cast - Juliette Lewis, Minnie Driver, Melissa Leo, Peter Gallgher and Karen Young - is wondrous.
