Conviction (out Feb 24) is about a woman who goes to law school so she can help get her innocent brother out of prison (who is serving a life sentence). This is a fascinating story told in a not-so-fascinating manner. It's terribly fragmented. You're better off skipping the film and instead, spend a half-hour reading about it on the internet. Grade: C+.
