This is the timeless story of the difference between truth, justice and the law. There was a tad too much mugging and the whole story could have been done better. However, I would not dismiss this out of hand. It does raise significant points in the American system of jurisprudence. It is well worth the watch and perhaps will enlighten many as to what our law enforcement officers contend with on a daily basis.

Pullman perfect, HBO sells him short
Added 11/15/2001
HBO needs to stick to showing other people's movies and give up on making their own. Bill Pullman (While You Were Sleeping) gives it his best shot in this unrealistic movie of a cop holding prisoners at gun point in a courtroom and letting the whole world see it on television. It's a sad sign of the times. Another great actor that didn't get used well was Robert Loggia (Big). Great talent needs to work to become better. This movie justs makes you wish they didn't have to do movies like this to perfect their craft.

Bill Pullman plays a cop who angry at the acquittal of a cop killer takes over the courtroom and begins his own trial. Brilliant performances by Pullman and Robert Loggia as the captain.
