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:
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.
A tuly Awful Movie 
2008-05-15 - Save your Money! This film inspite of a good cast goes down faster than a drunk prom queen. It is very predicatble, very stiff and uncomfortable to watch. Go see the Jesse Stone series in its place and see what a real movie can do.
A good drama mystery. 
2008-01-12 - but definitely not a family movie. The Language isn't too bad but there are a few other things that make a non-family friendly too. The story line is intriguing enough to keep you interested. The acting is great.
huffman again 
2007-06-30 - Huffman shines in a star turn about the death penalty. republicans will not like this movie because they will have to THINK, Peo-ple!!! Huffman is brilliant acting as her character in this. SOme people may wish she was better looking in the face as she is kind of frumpy, but she isn't Julia Roberts and doesn't want to be!!!
GREAT SELLER!!!!!!!!!!!!
2005-10-12 - DVD arrived promptly, as described, well packaged. I would gladly buy from again!!
