This story is about an adopted son who is in general a problem child. His family loves him very much but is never quite sure how to handle him. soon after the characters are introduced Bobby (Brendan Fraser) is arrested for a murder he did not commit. At first the father is unsure if he believes him but after a lie detecter test determines that bobby is telling the truth he backs his adopted child 100%. During the movie you go through emotional highs and lows as hope is gained and quickly dashed. I thought that this was a very powerful movie where you could really feel the love that this family has for eachother and the utter loss at having a son in prison.

Could This Happen To Me or You?

This is a very good film that shows how justice in our American system is sometimes lacking. The film centers on a young man (Bobby McLoughlin) with Brendon Fraser giving an excellent performance, who is wrongfully accused of a murder and the trials and tribulations that he and his parents must endure to prove his innocence. Martin Sheen and Caroline Kava give very good performances as the foster father and mother of McLoughlin.I was particularly disturbed by the apparent lack of legal representation McLoughlin received at his initial trial at the hands of a so-called Public Defender. Also, the film depicts disturbing elements in law enforcement of police errors that are very slow in being corrected at the expense of the wrongfully accused. Had Mr. McLoughlin been wrongfully convicted of first degree murder, he could very well have been executed.I highly recommend this film for those who may have known someone who was wrongfully accused or themselves accused. It is a thoughtful film that will hold your attention.
