AMERICAN VIOLET
October 15th, 2009
AMERICAN VIOLET- Premise by Netflix. ”Inspired by true events, this penetrating drama centers on Dee Roberts (Nicole Beharie), a 24-year-old mother of four who’s forced to take on a corrupt district attorney (Michael O’Keefe) when she’s unjustly prosecuted in a large-scale drug case. Directed by Tim Disney, the inspiring tale also stars Alfre Woodard as Dee’s mother, Alma, Tim Blake Nelson as ACLU attorney David Cohen and Will Patton as retired narcotics officer Sam Conroy.” Good reviews.
Very good acting and good dialogue make this film worthwhile despite the somewhat formulaic nature of the plot. Netflix. 10/09 (TRDB)
