That was an excellent one.

Thanks for the memories!

I wanted to but couldn't!

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

"Return To Sender" aka "Convicted" is a first-rate drama. The plot is: Charlotte Cory (Connie Nielsen) is on death row. There's only a week until her execution. Her lawyer (Kelly Preston) is running out of options to save her. Then Frank Nitzche (Aidan Quinn) comes into the picture. He wants to prove Charlotte's innocence, but he has a lustful attraction for her that's derailing the investigation. Can Charlotte be saved? The main problem with the movie is that it feels forced to go clichéd. I say that because the mystery aspect of the film doesn't work. It overcomes that because of the acting and directing. The whole cast is great. Aidan Quinn stands out. Connie Nielsen and Kelly Preston do a fine job. There was no reason for this movie to go direct-to-video. It should've had a shot in the theaters. In the end: Watch for the actors and get annoyed that studios dump hidden gems into the video market.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

A powerful performance by Connie Nielsen, well supported by Aidan Quinn and Kelly Preston. The plot holes don't really matter here, it's the psyche of Charlotte Cory, as revealed by Nielson, that draws one through this film. Like Quinn's character Frank, one needs to learn why this beautiful person will passively accept execution by the state rather than defend her innocence. Self-condemned, because she miserably failed her sister Stella years before, Charlotte seems to believe she can atone for her sins in a twisted kind of sacrifice.Neilsen reveals with her face and eyes the inner beauty of her character, the sadness on learning the (false?) circumstances of her father's death, the meaningfulness of her relationship with Frank, the love of her sister, the hope of a new life.Aidan Quinn provides a solid, believable Frank, the shyster turning hero, resonating with Nielsen throughout.The overwhelming impression of this film is its realism, in character portrayal, settings, musical score, it seems authentic, even when viewed through the lens of a security camera. In contrast, the fantasy sequences are whimsical and far out.The solution of the mystery is satisfying, leading to a good ending.

First of all this movie is excellent. Actors are brilliant (Connie Nielsen on top), plot is excellent and it even has Hollywood styled happy ending (many of you probably dislike it). Why I liked this movie so much that it's in my all time top 10 thrillers list? Because it's simple and easy to understand. This movie has no fancy special effects, no superbeautiful or superugly characters, no extreme plot turnovers nothing like that (like Harlin's Mindhunters for example). It's about ordinary people doing ordinary bad or good things to each other and it's brilliant. Like taken from real life. And once again it's brilliant. It is a really must see movie for all of you thriller fans. ENJOY!!!

This was a movie that OK. The acting was OK, the story was OK, everything was OK, but not more than that. I wasn't p***** off about the time I spent watching it, but there were a lot of other ways (better ways) I could've spent that time. Bottom line, it's a good movie to see if you've got NOTHING else to do. The other thing to mention about the movie is that it had been done before. Not the exact same movie. But you can't help saying to yourself "haven't i seen this one before". It's just one of those movies that has that feeling about them. That being said, I'll go home and watch cartoons. Yeah, cartoons kick a55.
