It’s amazing to see Brendan Fraser’s introduction into acting in this movie and recently he won an Oscar. He has come so far and I’ve always loved and appreciated his acting. 😊❤
the truth is that there is no justice because unless you have a very expensive lawyer or a lobby on your side the ordinary folk are always treated (by society) or the court as GUILTY until proven innocent if u think ist any other way YOU are VERY naïve!
I’m so glad Brendan made a comeback! He’s a fantastic actor and from what i’ve read and heard he’s a top guy too! Movie was great btw, Love Martin Sheen, particularly in Grace & Frankie…that show is so under rated yet it’s brill!
I felt the pain of the character all the way through this film. One minute of wrongfully served jail time is too much. Think of the people who were wrongfully convicted and served decades in prison. Thanks to DNA technology many people are now being exonerated. My heart goes out to the people who are innocent yet are still in prison. In real life, it took Bobby a long time to rid himself of his demons. He went back to doing drugs and drinking. His marriage fell apart due to his addictions. The state of New York paid for his treatment from alcohol and drugs. He has recently come to terms with his past and seems to be on the right path. I wish him all the best. And, congratulations to Brendan Fraser for his Oscar win. He certainly deserves it.
Oh my GOSH ! .so real Bobby backslided ...poor thing ...and awarded all the $$ if u can put a price on Freedom ...but still life is Not easy.....the devil loves drugs and addiction.......pray constantly..hope Bobby is doing better these days
No idea how, I have never heard of this movie before, Brendan Fraser is a brilliant actor. My heart felt for this guy and his family that really went through this. Just found your channel tonight subscribed.
Great movie of what can happen to someone that is accused of murder by one false witness encouraged by police or detective and prosectors when they did not do their job of not checking out the young man and not accepting the witnesses of Bobbies friends. Lots of innocent people have gone to prison because of people not doing their jobs fairly.. Happy for Bobby and his family..
I’m glad he was financially compensated. Hopefully this grew awareness and additional complying steps with more over sight added to policing since then.
What a great movie,.to be wrongfully convicted is unthinkable, a travesty! Martin Sheen as usual impeccable performance, I always liked Brendan Fraser, pleased he was awarded an Oscar last night, well deserved.
This is so a touching movie. He and his family spent years of their life in a hell, but the love set them free of the injustice. But I also think about on the mother of the murdered boy. Terrible and sad history. Brendan is such a good actor and he deserves all the best.
I was teary eyes watching this movie,at the start i just see Martin Sheen,cast in this one so i’ll be on it.he’s one of my fave.but also the story was really natural.must see for the other kids out there.somehow you’ll realise how much parents love and care for their families.
I hope that Bobby McLaughlin has had a good life, as it’s about 33 years later.🙏🏻 //////If this was Brandon’s first movie, I met his mother at the time he was up for his first movie. We were in a class together and she was very nice. Unfortunately, she has already passed away and didn’t get to see her boy win the Oscar. -Congratulations to Brandon! 🎉 I’m looking forward to seeing the Whale.
I wonder about the determination & resilience of this father who is not his biological son.. May God blessed husband and wife if they are alive. if not may God's blessing find their childeran and gran childern
Anybody know how Bobby's photo was even in police files when the single witness was shown it? Ah ha.... For the record, I did my research myself... " ... the photograph was retrieved from police files where it had been placed after he had been arrested on an assault charge for which he was never convicted." I'm not trying to smear Bobby, no , .. I was just curious. My niece & her boyfriend are studying law. Also the case of Anthony Ray Hinton is very very heart wrenching, because he was sooo innocent, so fully wrongly put on death row in Alabama prison for 30+ years. Because of financial poverty he wasn't able to get a decent lawyer, and the evidence was such that even a deaf mute or blind person could understand how he did not in no way do the murder that was wrongly pinned on him. His book is out called "The Sun Does Shine" and his story is painful ... 3 decades on death row absolutely innocent. Lord have mercy. 🙏🏻
This was Brandon's first break into movies and it's a horrendous topic, a real problem with innocent young guys in prison with grown men who don't stand a chance. Some never come out alive, some maimed for life, some with PTSD for life. This movie tells a good story, still relevant today, perhaps even moreso.
It's sad how people in the justice system, for the sake of doing their jobs, participate in the wrongful conviction of an innocent man they knew were innocent. Shame on them!!!
How good to know that the love of these parents made the difference. The words of the judge at the end of the movie say it all. And the money he received may have greatly contributed to a good and better life for him.
I highly recommended to you all to watch this movie. Great storyline, screenplay, Actors, everything. Good choice of Actors and Actresses. All played well especially Bobby's family. Such a wonderful movie. The parents' unwavering love and sacrifice (even though they're just foster parents) for their son is priceless. I just hope this story leaves a moral lesson to all.
Oh man !...such a rollercoaster of emotions from beginnings to the end..I'm in tears... What occurred should never had happened..failure to follow procedures created a web of imprisonment and deep heart rendering fear...this is the 'in'justis system that we are seeing more and more of...convenience over diligence...win stats over righteous prosecution...a nightmare that has shown its ugly head in many fields of occupation..but none so damaging as in the Halls of Justice...that this is a True Story makes it all the more appalling... Brendan Fraser has always had my support as an actor..and this film was wrought with emotion...as he's recently began acting again..I wish him the very best of success and return to better health and the ability to endure the injures he's lived with these past many years...again caused by lax procedures to protect an actor... God bless and keep you Brendan..💚🙏💚...🌿🌿🌿
"Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, they will be satisfied." Martin Sheen and the team at their best. Great storyline. Thanks for posting.
As a criminologist who worked in the system, we hate to admit that these things happen, but we know they do. It only takes one mistake somewhere in the process and it snowballs from there. The bright spot is the advent of sophisticated DNA tests that have helped clear many innocent people, even though it is long after the fact. The other bright spot is that this is a very rare event, but it is tragic when an innocent person is forced to serve time for something they did not do. I thought it was a very accurate portrayal of a flawed system run by human beings, who sadly, sometimes make mistakes.
Good police work by intelligent, thoughtful, level headed police officers prevent the snowball. That's the first step. Of course, well behaved citizenry would actually be the first step. I know....I dream.
I read the comments and you all said that the movie was great but never commented on the subject of the movie. The policeman that set bobby up should have been fired and innocent people do go to prison
the whole police deptnknew and backed the kids innocence.. lm sure the detective responsible, if not fired, felt the heat, saw the writing on the wall, and resigned or quit.. cops dont like it when its not a clean case.. they take their jobs seriously and want the bad guy, not innocent ppl..
Dammit these based on true story films are just so good. Are all court appointed attorneys as useless as they’re often said to be? The one in this was if that was an accurate portrayal.
I certainly liked her much better as Faye in the TV Sitcom, "Wings". However, even in that series she did have a a somewhat menacing edge to her personality; but laced with humor it was much more palatable. Wonder what she's like in her real life.
Just another question... How was Bobby's photo in police files in the first place? Are all citizens on file w/their photo? If his photo hadn't a been in there, the whole incident would be different.
I can't help myself to cry watching the ending of this movie.. justice was served to an innocent man who was wrongly convicted a murder. The cop who arrested Bobby shd be punish & remove from service..& the one who pinpointed him as the murderer shd also be punish. Thanks to the undying support of his foster parents especially his foster dad in gathering new facts & evidence that proved that he was innocent. Nice movie & great acting.
the system is wrong,, defence attorneys are usually over worked & under paid and weaker in their jobs ..your "justice system" doesnt exist! USAcorp has incarcerated more than DOUBLE the number that kept in Soviet GULAGS!
Good movie with the exception of a father not trusting his son , as a dad I will question any of my kids if they do something wrong, and know if they actually did anything wrong right away
@@88tecia there is no such thing as a perfect parent, but seeing the obvious and deal with it without traumatizing the kid for doing something wrong like a normal kid will do, I wasn’t an angel either and I can say my kids got into mischief here and there, I think I’ve handled it a little better than my own parents did, I pay attention for one thing, and I try to learn from others mistakes 😁 God Bless you and have a Great day 🙏🏼
You dont know everything, even your own kid. Plenty parents defend their GUILTY kid, and plenty cant believe the kid they love cuz the kids been a "liar" too many times!
Heartbreaking. "Once!" Sadly, that is all it takes sometimes to mark our lives forever. It is better to think a thousand times before crossing the line, than to live your whole life wishing you could go back to that moment again to make the right choice this time. Whenever "just this once" crosses your mind, ask yourself why allow yourself to do something that isn't right?! And, if it is right, don't consider stopping because of what others say or think! Many blessings! Thanks for the post!
The dog's experience in finding out what happened is right on point. I have faith that he will get a lot of information and find out what happened to Sebastian. 💚💚💚
Good movie but... It is impossible not to think the injustice of the script writers or the real person giving credit to the father only when the mother believed in him from the beginning and she set the wheel in motion while holding the family together.
@@wendyelsey7765 Yes, so easy to say (or write, if just in the script), I owe it to my wonderful parents. The couple was a team, they couldn't have done it otherwise.
The fact this movie was based on truth is frighteninng how things can go so wrong. So glad the truth came out. Feel sorry for ONeil who was led to believe he was looking at the guilty boy. Hope that cop apologized to him
I cried out a lot for this movie. I have a brother who was sentenced for 4 years for physical injury who really did was his friend, but because of very financially poor situation and far village, he were jailed for 6 years and 4 months. My parents barely visit him due to luck of money.... I think im having heart attcack now watching this
I just saw a Documentary on death row. This one guy who was to die within a month, but there were 2 girls her thought his was Innocent, come to find out 2 days before execution they were right and proved he wasn't guilty, and was let out. He did have to wear a ankle bracelet until his new trial. That took 4 years before he was exonerated of murder. Thank God the 2 girls dug into his case or he would of been murdered by the courts. Rarely will they overturn a death penalty! I think it was 48 hrs Death Row?? Check it out.
This movie brought tears to my eyes but for different reasons . The fatherly love was something i always wanted . I too was a not so good boy growing up . Started smokingweed and drinking at the age of 13 . By the time i was 18 i had beeb throuhg every drug at that time . I eventually settled on heroin and cocaine. In and out of jail and prison for over 20 years . Never had dads support, but then again i was a bad person . The one thing though is one time i asked mom to bail me out for a possession charge and she did. The following day she told me she was going to pull the bail because dad told her to . I was so hurt , itsclose to teo years now that they have both passed . First mom then a couple months later dad . I miss her everyday,but i have no feelings for him . Its like he never existed to me and thats what brought tears to my eyes .
Wrongful convictions still happen today, and though some prisoners are proven to be not guilty, it takes a long time to be released. I can only think that the prosecutors don't want to he proven incompetent..
OMG♥️ It was so hard to watch. The daily entrapment must have been so hard, than Justice was served. Such A Happy Ending. May continue to Bless Bobby & His Family♥️💯♥️
Very touching movie,life is unfair,law only makes mistakes many thames and it is not easy to find what was the only truth.That is not correct,if they spoilt peoples life.
One thing I learned in my criminal justice courses was that eye witness testimonies are not reliable as evidences in prosecutions. In this movie it showed that the only so called evidence against Bobby and maybe the other guy way the eye witness' testimony. They never stated they had the weapons with finger prints or the victims DNA. To this day many innocent people are in prison based on faulty eye witnesses testimonies. Glad Bobby's parents kept going to get him free. I just love true stories there's always a lesson to be learned from them.
A story well told with good acting all round. The fitst trial showed that cops, lawyers , judges and juries are inept and unreliable. If not for those wonderfully wise and loyal parents what would have happened? To think that so many innocent people have been incarcerated due to ineptness.
Is that the actor (Twisted Sister) father who shouted "Whaddya wanna do with your life?!" Son: "I wanna rock!!". Lol,I'm old.He is superb and underrated in all his roles
Even though it's an older movie it is certainly worth watching... & oh boy, a true story!
It’s amazing to see Brendan Fraser’s introduction into acting in this movie and recently he won an Oscar. He has come so far and I’ve always loved and appreciated his acting. 😊❤
I think Brendan Fraser acting in this movie was better than Martin Sheen's. This was a great movie !
Me too, it's been nice to watch his acting prowess develop throughout the years. ❣️

Any money compensate the time he spent in the prison… Disgusting the Justice System…
This father will get justice !!! There is no denying his love and duty to his son !!! ❤❤❤❤
You are saying it yourself.🙏🙏
Ive never wanted to hug my ipad so bad till I tried to at the end of this movie…..
First time I ever saw Brendan. Gorgeous & really good in this. Martin Sheen was fantastic as always.

Really enjoyed this movie. Martin Sheen and Brendan Fraser were great as father and son. Too many cases of wrongful convictions still today.
Saw this when i was a boy and boy did it give me an arresting impression of Brendan's acting chops. He killed it fo sho! Been a fan since
What was the movie made?

If Brandon Frasser's in it. It must to be good❤❤❤
I cried out a lot for this movie.
I have a brother who was sentenced for 4 years for physical injury who really did was his friend, but because of very financially poor situation and far village, he were jailed for 6 years and 4 months. My parents barely visit him due to luck of money.... I think im having heart attcack now watching this
LOVED THIS MOVIE
MARTIN SHEEN AND BRENDAN FRASER GREAT ACTING
Neither the district attorney nor the police faced prosecution for witness tampering or perjury. Bummer.
I just saw a Documentary on death row. This one guy who was to die within a month, but there were 2 girls her thought his was Innocent, come to find out 2 days before execution they were right and proved he wasn't guilty, and was let out. He did have to wear a ankle bracelet until his new trial. That took 4 years before he was exonerated of murder. Thank God the 2 girls dug into his case or he would of been murdered by the courts. Rarely will they overturn a death penalty! I think it was 48 hrs Death Row??
Check it out.
2 girls while the cops sat on their as.ess😢
This movie brought tears to my eyes but for different reasons . The fatherly love was something i always wanted . I too was a not so good boy growing up . Started smokingweed and drinking at the age of 13 . By the time i was 18 i had beeb throuhg every drug at that time . I eventually settled on heroin and cocaine. In and out of jail and prison for over 20 years . Never had dads support, but then again i was a bad person . The one thing though is one time i asked mom to bail me out for a possession charge and she did. The following day she told me she was going to pull the bail because dad told her to . I was so hurt , itsclose to teo years now that they have both passed . First mom then a couple months later dad . I miss her everyday,but i have no feelings for him . Its like he never existed to me and thats what brought tears to my eyes .
Wow the parents were so conservative and respectful. God bless them ❤
Great actors, Martin Sheen knocked it out of the ball park.
Very intense movie. I actually felt every character's portrayal.
THANK YOU for POSTING..
Wrongful convictions still happen today, and though some prisoners are proven to be not guilty, it takes a long time to be released. I can only think that the prosecutors don't want to he proven incompetent..
Thank you for sharing this excellent movie
This is such a good movie! you need to see it!!!
OMG♥️ It was so hard to watch. The daily entrapment must have been so hard, than Justice was served. Such A Happy Ending. May continue to Bless Bobby & His Family♥️💯♥️
Very touching movie,life is unfair,law only makes mistakes many thames and it is not easy to find what was the only truth.That is not correct,if they spoilt peoples life.
Great Movie, Martin sheen a great actor.
One thing I learned in my criminal justice courses was that eye witness testimonies are not reliable as evidences in prosecutions. In this movie it showed that the only so called evidence against Bobby and maybe the other guy way the eye witness' testimony. They never stated they had the weapons with finger prints or the victims DNA. To this day many innocent people are in prison based on faulty eye witnesses testimonies. Glad Bobby's parents kept going to get him free. I just love true stories there's always a lesson to be learned from them.
Great movie! Thank you!
I can hardly watch this. This happens all the time. So much for the land of the free.
A story well told with good acting all round. The fitst trial showed that cops, lawyers , judges and juries are inept and unreliable. If not for those wonderfully wise and loyal parents what would have happened?
To think that so many innocent people have been incarcerated due to ineptness.
Very good film. Food for thought.
Great movie. Thank you for uploading it.
Is that the actor (Twisted Sister) father who shouted "Whaddya wanna do with your life?!" Son: "I wanna rock!!". Lol,I'm old.He is superb and underrated in all his roles
