Review:
Journalist Steve Everett (Clint Eastwood who also directed this) has personal demons, he loves women and booze but his problems increase when his co-worker Michelle dies in a car accident. When he is given a human interest story about a Man set to be executed for murdering a pregnant woman for $96 he owes her he starts to learn things aren't as clear as they once seemed. See he figures out that one of the witnesses lied about what they saw so he believes this man is innocent. From there he has about 12 hours to try to prove the prisoner's innocence in a race against time that is actually rather exciting. The thing is, because of his past issues people aren't exactly jumping to help him or believe him so it's a rather tricky path to the truth. One of the better little crime thrillers that is rarely mentioned, I remember when I rented this I watched it twice in the same day I liked it so much...but I haven't seen it in years!
