Convicted

• Rating:
• Director:
• Starring: Aidan Quinn
• Details:

Released in the US and elsewhere under the title 'Return to Sender' this is another straight to video film. Happily, unlike Alone in the Dark, what we have here is an absorbing and competent drama. Quinn stars as Frank, a guy who befriends people on Death Row via letters in a bid to acquire their final thoughts and sell them for massive profit. However the letters from convicted child killer Charlotte have dried up. He breaks his own rule and arranges to meet her. Repeatedly. An intriguing character piece with a satisfying twist and interesting performances from the small cast.
