An American TV film drama; Based on a true story about a man accused of murder when he tries to stop three men stealing copper from his business premises. This film has two main themes: the right to defend your home and business, and having faith in the truth. The central idea behind the law in the U. S. is that a person who is being threatened by another person's use of force does not have a duty to retreat or back down before he or she can legally use force against the attacker. The State of Georgia's law makes no distinction regarding locations for using this force, which makes the story premise a most interesting one. However, the power of the telling here is in the acting performances, and they are below par. Many conversations in scenes away from the courtroom are stilted. Many other scenes were poorly edited, tumbling into each other without much care and attention for the narrative. Cameron Arnett as the lawyer gives a creditable performance, drawing in the audience to the case, and he builds up the tension to an impressive courtroom climax but this gives way to some overdone emotion in the final scenes.
