Solid Filmmaking.,
By
This review is from: Thin Blue Line (VHS Tape)
Errol Morris is one of the few filmmakers who allows real people to speak their voices. One can tell when seeing his documentaries that the people speaking are talking from their hearts and minds, and not reading a screenplay or Q-card. In his movies, one can sense a level of rawness not found from other filmmakers. In 'The Thin Blue Line', Morris tries to aquit an innocent man of murdering a police officer.The story is told in a breath-taking fashion, with Morris going back to the scene of the crime and telling it from as many viewpoints as possible. When doing this, he also exposes the manipulative nature of people, showing how they will go to great lenghts to save themselves and make a quick dollar. The subject matter might bore some people after a while, but the last interview with the real killler at the end of the film is simply haunting and unforgettable.

Amazing,
This review is from: Thin Blue Line (VHS Tape)
I watched this film in my film and Lit class, then over the weekend I rented it and watched it several more times, it is truely astounding, as a native Texan I have always mindlessly supported the death penalty, but this movie gave me my doubts.PS. David Harris is still on Death Row and is scheduled to be executed on 6/30/2004, crazy he's now 44

Profoundly moving,
By Texas Lawyer (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thin Blue Line (VHS Tape)
It is impossible to see this movie and continue to support the death penalty. Innocent people do end up on Death Row, and this is a movie about a Dallas prosecutor who lied to the judge and jury to get a death sentence against an innocent man - and then fought like hell to keep him there. It was only because of the two million dollars spent making this movie that Randall Adams - an innocent man - walks free today.How many Randall Adams have been executed, in Texas and elsewhere - without anyone putting that amount of resources into researching their case? Everyone who thinks they support the death penalty needs to see this movie.
