Hilary Swank only makes two types of films, dreadful ones that she's awful in or ones that she wins an Oscar for, with pretty much nothing in between. The jury is still out on this one, as Conviction has certainly got Oscar-bait potential, with Swank playing a woman whose brother (Sam Rockwell) is convicted of murder and locked up. She then begins an obsessive, 18 year quest to prove his innocence, going to law school and dedicating her life to the fight. However with everyone telling her to give up and the evidence getting older and older, can she ever win her battle and free her brothers? So will the film be dreadful or will Swank get an Oscar? Click below for the trailer and see what you think.
