Thin Blue Line, The

USA 1988, 101 minutes
Dir. Errol Morris
Genres: Documentary / Courtroom

Aroview: Director Morris digs up a 1976 murder case and uncovers a web of deceit and police corruption. A twisting, bizzare slice of journalism, nicely offset by Philip Glass' eerie score.

4 stars (Very Good) Nicely woven investigative look at a historic murder case in which an innocent Randall Adams was convicted and sentenced for shooting a police officer. Engaging characters, and an ending that will leave you cold. ~GenXGirl

5 stars (Exceptional) Could've soo easily failed if the same story had been tarred with the 'Hard Copy' brush. Morris feeds out the facts masterfully. Features stylized reenactments that have integrity. Who knew that was possible? ~Regando
