Power-Packed True Story!!
This film is a very gripping true story about corruption, justice and redemption. It stars Richard Crenna (First Blood, Wrongfully Accused,) as attorney Lawrence O,Donnell who takes on the Boston Police Force, in a "wrongful death" suit. This is one great movie that received a 10 in my voting. This was another.50cent Laser Disc deal of a gem!!!!
Right, like Richard Crenna could lose
Noble Richard Crenna has zero opposition in this movie, and that's what makes it irritating. All his opponents are abjectly transparent liars and all his allies are eagle scout material. The only tension is whether Crenna will keep a grip on his Boston accent. (Didn't his coach know how to pronounce "Suffolk"?)
