Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Edser46 S At first I thought the story will be depressing, as movies about suffering usually are, but this one is definitely not one of those.They say it's a real story, which makes it even better. The movie is very interesting, it keeps you on your sit the whole time. Maybe the spins we get during the plot, the thrill, or the excitement, whichever be the case, it's a good movie, great acting for a movie like this perhaps of medium budget. I'll give it a 6 and I'll definitely could see it a second time. I read another review which totally talks down about the movie. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, we don't know who wrote that or why, but I can only say, give it a chance and watch it. And the best thing, the end was totally unexpected.

Speedysue2003 Good movie. Bad music, but good storyline. I obviously am responding to jstreby review. First of all, you should pay attention to the movie. First of all, the 2 reporters are not working the obits. They are investigating an unsolved & un-investigated murder of a 15 year old black child in Amos, AL. The young cub reporter has a very rich parent. The car is a 2009 Nissan 370z. His fiancée is kinda difficult. You made a review based on watching 20 minutes of the movie. This is a powerful story with a good plot. Based on a true story. This type of story has happened so much over the years that we have become immune to the significance of the story itself. Racism is not dead in this country, it has just been accepted and people move on. I'm not saying that it is correct, but it is true. Why can't we as a people of this country put aside the color of our skin and respect every color?

anon-36-968720 Yup it is pretty bad and its hard to figure how who is mostly at fault .. but I'm going to say the direction caused a lot of that stilted acting. We go from one scene to the next of conversation .. two people or three, standing or sitting, and giving either expositional dialogue ad infinitum, or right on the nose dialogue, which is just as boring. So, the accomplice to the murder of this film would go to the writer. And if wouldn't it be great if actors, having been given such an awful script and such plodding direction, could at least try to find some way to work against the predictable and the stereotypical. If you can't, then try to find some charm in your character, something we'd like, or identify with.

Cole I have to recommend Deadline as a movie you don't want to miss this year. Being based on a true story as well as a book, the story line is excellent & the script was well written. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout its length. With elements of mystery, action, & even love, the movie flowed wonderfully. Steve Talley & Eric Roberts gave great performances along with the other local Tennessee talent that joined them on screen. I don't think you will be disappointed & I definitely encourage everyone to check this one out when it comes to a city near you. The red carpet experience is also one of a kind & something you sure don't see everyday!
