Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Leofwine_draca CAROLINA SKELETONS is a TV movie exploring the same subject matter as MISSISSIPPI BURNING and IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT. It stars Louis Gossett Jr. as a former soldier looking into the mystery surrounding a historical crime for which his brother was executed as a boy. While investigating he discovers a small town hot with corruption and prejudice, and soon finds himself in very real danger. While this production suffers from the typical TV movie trappings in terms of lack of budget and tame delivery of the subject matter, Gossett Jr. is good value as the lead and the likes of Bruce Dern, Melissa Leo, Clifton James, and Richard Denkins can be relied upon to deliver solid support.
poohkie752000-170-719406 This film I saw on NBC back in 1993. I was horrified watching it then, and it gives me even more chills now knowing this really happened. LG gives a stellar performance as the brother seeking justice for his brother's murder. More films like these should be made to expose the judicial system for what it is and perhaps we won't have to learn these lessons now. The interesting turn of events is the fact that his brother went into the military for the country who showed no remorse for his brother. This is not for the faint of heart nor should children watch it (spoiler alert). This film is about society's ills and the laws that support them. This film would have done well in theaters. However by it being aired on television, the concept is toned down and is not as grotesque as it could have been. It was done well enough for the viewer to get the gist. Though it seemed slow at times, it is a mirror of how justice actually moves in cases of exoneration.
Majid-Hamid this movie is really great...there are only 3 or 4 people comment on this title...i am definitely agree with them...this is truly a great movie...and it should have been a box office movie...the actors are good!!! the acting and the plot of the story are great...but i wonder why does this movie is not popular???to anyone who have not seen this movie...go and rent rent it... but it is better to buy it!! i bought this movie on laser disc... and i realize that this is truly a great movie after all...watch it !!10/10****
MovieTycoon_7 If they had marketed this movie right, it might have done well in the box-office. This lifetime movie, is like no other. It has character depth, an interesting plot, and vivid direction. Don't be alarmed by the corny cover, this is a owner.
