Movie Trial by Fire on Netflix

[d.anders]

I watched Trial by Fire the other night on Netflix. I had not heard of this 2018 movie. Another true story, starring sexy Jack O'Connell and Laura Dern. Initially, Jack O'Connell's character is a bit ugly, but after he is incarcerated, he transforms. I always like Laura Dern's work.

Jack O'Connell does a nude scene in bed, and you almost catch his dangling junk while he's on his knees. He is an actor who doesn't seem to mind going nude. I didn't know him, but he has a bit of experience taking off his clothes in film.

Edward Zwick directed, and I always thought he was an amazing talent. Some critics were hard on the film. Not sure why. I found the story quite compelling, and very, very sad. It looks like an innocent man endured the death penalty in Texas. I'm quite sure he wasn't the first and won't be the last.
