Description of Reversible Errors:
Based on the bestselling novel by Scott Turow (Presumed Innocent), Reversible Errors presents a first-rate cast in a penetrating look at the death penalty. The made-for-TV movie begins in 1991 when small-time thief Rommy "Squirrel" Gandolph (Glen Plummer) is convicted of triple homicide and sentenced to death. Larry Starczek (Tom Selleck), the detective on the case, also happens to be involved with prosecuting attorney Muriel Wynn (Monica Potter). Seven years later, he's still single, she's married, and her old colleague, attorney Arthur Raven (William H. Macy), is assigned to Gandolph's final appeal. Former judge Gillian Sullivan (Felicity Huffman), who presided over Gandolph's trial (and has since done time for bribery) becomes his unlikely ally. The Emmy-winning Selleck (Magnum P.I.) is in typically fine form, but real-life couple Macy and Huffman steal the show by virtue of the greater complexity of--and chemistry between--their flawed, but noble characters. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Reversible Errors Reviews:
saved by Tom Selleck 
2009-10-21 - Kind of herky-jerky, but saved by Tom Selleck who can save just about anything. The music added to the poor score I gave -- really, really bad music.
No errors in the casting! 
2009-07-16 - Hard to knock a film that stars my favorite actors at their best, and pushes so many buttons. Not one you'll yawn through!
reversible errors 
2009-03-04 - Quite accidentally, while waiting for delivery of this DVD, I borrowed the book from the library and while reading it, I found myself impatient, not only for the ending but also, so I could watch the DVD. Both were great. I know that I am going to watch it again in a few weeks and trust that I will come away with the same feelings as I now have.

2008-12-28 - Another in a long line of Tom Selleck movies that will entertain and have you wanting more.
Slowly gathers steam
2008-10-25 - The first hour or so of this near-three hour TV movie is really slow, but luckily--thanks to a combination of interesting plot twists as well as the intriguing character and great acting of William Macy--the movie really picks up steam after that first slow section.
The plot centers on a triple murder; the central question is who actually committed this crime. One guy is behind bars and sentenced to lethal injection for it. Another guy is in prison for another crime but is very closely connected to the crime. A third guy is out of the slammer but also closely connected to the crime. On the law side, we have Macy as a lawyer, his real-life wife Felicity Huffman as a judge with whom he gets romantically involved, Tom Selleck as a cop on the case, and Monica Potter as the prosecuting attorney who's married but also involved with Selleck.
Yes, it's pretty soapy, but Macy's great acting, as well as solid support from Huffman, Selleck, Potter, and the bad guys (James Rebhorn and Glenn Plummer, especially) make this more than watchable. If you can get past the first very slow hour or 75 minutes, then settle in for an enjoyable remainder of the movie.
