Product Description

Academy Award® winners Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, 2010) and Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line, 2005) lead an all-star cast in this gripping, heart-wrenching true story that shocked the nation. May 5, 1993. West Memphis, Arkansas. Three young boys playing in the nearby woods never come home for dinner. In the rush to find and convict the killers, police focus on a trio of teenagers suspected of devil worship. As the mother of one of the murdered boys (Witherspoon) tries to come to grips with this unspeakable tragedy, she is desperate to believe that the killers have been found and will be brought to justice. It is only when an investigator (Firth) reveals that the evidence doesn’t all add up, that the community is forced to face the reality that the true killer might still be out there.

    I watched a documentary on this and became interested in the case so we wanted to watch the movie. I thought it was pretty good
  • Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2014
    We moved from the Philadelphia area to Tennessee in the very late 1970's. This case was covered by the news in Tennessee even though it took place across the border in Arkansas. I remember quite clearly that I thought that the case was pushed to a conviction at that time by the news and that it was somewhat likely a miscarriage of justice had occurred. But, being relatively conservative and having a new family, I had a life to live and it was a story that just bothered me but not to the extent I felt compelled to do something about it. Besides it was in another state and I did not have access to all of the details. Years later, I watched a documentary on the case that reminded me of the concern I had that these boys were railroaded. This film came very close to the facts presented in the documentary, but in all fairness was less supportive of a specific answer. Because truth only spilled out occasionally after the sentencing of the boys, it was not sufficient to keep up public interest. I do not know who was guilty in this terrible crime, but I am sure that the standard of reasonable doubt was never met because of social and political pressure necessary to find guilt, whether or not it was present. Since there was no organized group willing to spend money, time and effort in their defense, they got a bad trial even though the accused and the victims were all young boys. Our system of justice is still one of the best on earth, but sometimes it fails because of human management that will forever be subject to the prejudice of human nature. While the convicted boys lost a significant portion of the most enjoyable and productive parts of their lives, they did not lose the chance to eventually and partially overcome what their society had done to them. I believe the demand for swift punishment and the pressures it put on the court, prosecutors and police was the driver in this instance when it should have been the protection of society that should have been the deciding factor in sentencing. Punishment and revenge cannot be our overriding goals. We need to focus upon what measures are necessary to give reasonable protection to society that we will be protected from those most likely to commit crimes again. This is a difficult goal and full of uncertainty in practice. But, if we do not believe that such a goal is substantially preferable and possible a vast majority of the time, why not just adopt Sharia law as a simple primitive alternative?

    This movie is very sad and has a bit of gore but it's very good. I wish this wasn't a true story but sadly it is. This is a sad world we live in!
  • Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2014
    As a longtime supporter of the men who used to be referred to as 'The West Memphis Three,' I literally saw this case unfold. At the time of the murders and the arrests, I was dividing time between a dorm room at ASU in Jonesboro, AR, and my parents' home in Lepanto, AR [both not far from West Memphis]. The instant I saw that three teenagers were arrested for this horrendous crime, I immediately said aloud HELL NO!

    Although Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon gave outstanding performances as Ron Lax and Pam Hobbs, the movie depicted events that most hard core supporters have known about for many years. The movie doesn't necessarily point any fingers, however, I would have liked to see the point of view from a different angle. I didn't feel the movie did it as well as the book. Ms. Leveritt's book specifies what her opinion [based on the facts she knew at the time] was regarding suspects. Her book was well written, as was the screenplay. It was gritty, emotionally charged, but seemed to demonize Damien Echols more than the WMPD did in 1993. Yet, at the same time, it focused on Jessie Misskelley's suggestibility, [if one has ever spoken to Jessie, and I have, he or she would spot it in an instant] as well as Jason's shock when the verdict and penalties were announced in court. I was there for the Echols/Baldwin penalty phase hearing, and no one can describe it better than someone who saw it. I never want to see anything like it again, because I was torn due to my belief that Jessie, Damien, and Jason were wrongly convicted, I had extreme sympathy and empathy for the families who lost their children. It was heart wrenching to see the families of the accused treated as if they had committed crimes as well as their sons. It was also difficult to watch the parents of the victims and the accused falling apart. I see it this way: six parents lost children.

    Stephen Moyer as John Fogleman was a smart choice. In the extra features, he admitted to speaking to him only once, but he embodied his ire perfectly. Chad Henderson wasn't bad as Brent Davis, but they should have told him Mr. Davis is quite bug eyed and resembled a bull dog at the time. He had more ire in him than any prosecutor I've witnessed, including Fogleman. He was brutal when questioning the defense, and they were far more harsh on Jessie, Damien, and Jason than the movie could touch. I also still cannot believe the buffoonery Paul Ford and Val Price conducted during the trial. They were very lax [pardon the name pun]. The movie captured it well. The ending was fitting, but left me somewhat lost. I assume this was the point. I was touched many times and glad the movie was dedicated to Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers. I don't have many criticisms, as the novel the movie is based on is fantastic, as is the writer, there were a few issues.

    First, I do not know who made the choice to shoot in Georgia. I feel it should have been shot in Arkansas, in the towns where it occurred and the trials conducted. I know they had to re-create the pipe bridge and the woods. Georgia? Really? And not ONE shot of the memorial at Weaver Elementary where the boys attended school? Those of us who live in Arkansas know the scenery, the accents, etc., and I am a stickler for details. I really dislike how badly some of the actors had to fake it to an extreme that made it distracting. Arkansas is considered a southern state when it actually is more along the lines of the lower Midwest, especially Northeastern Arkansas. Accents vary. Here, a lot of people overdo it on purpose to feel more 'southern.' Firth, Deehan, and Witherspoon did well. The vernacular was slightly off, as was the outside shots. Nothing looked familiar and I don't like what seemed to be disingenuous [I know it wasn't]. This may be a moot point for most. Unfortunately, it isn't for me.

    Secondly, I think most of the key points during the trials were missed. For example, at the death penalty sentence for Damien, they missed his reaction, how he was dressed, and the hoards of Wiccans standing outside in support. When it was announced Echols and Baldwin were being tried in Craighead County, there was a store on Nettleton Avenue in Jonesboro that provided goods and services for the pagans in the community. No one cared about the business operation until they discovered the trial for Echols and Baldwin would take place in 'this God-fearing small scale city.' After all, there are so many churches here that there is actually a street called Church. Every block on Church Street has a church. Some Arkansans are very intolerant of people who are different. VERY. Before the trial began, there was a march downtown by the court house to chase the pagan store owners out of town. It worked. They closed up shop. For good. There was and has been a Satanic Panic in Northeast Arkansas as far back as I can remember. It began heavily in the 1980s. The movie depicted it as something minor, when in fact, people are actually rabid about it. Especially local churches. Nowadays, it's not Satan responsible, it's drugs. There was pressure to find the culprits and I feel the WMPD had been pushed to focus all their energy on Echols, Baldwin, and Misskelley with made up stories instead of investigating some possible real leads. Yes, I'm going to say it. The Big Red Herring: Mr. Bojangles Man. An officer supposedly 'lost' blood samples taken from Bojangles. How convenient. Need not have evidence that could have been useful.

    Thirdly, I know the focus seemed to be on Pam Hobbs and Ron Lax. That was well and good. However, there were other sets of parents who lost children. No one focused on the Byers' or the Moores. No one focused on the parents of the accused, only depicting Damien's sister, and his girlfriend at the time. I respect Ms. Hobbs [whom I believe has gone back to her maiden name] more than she could ever imagine, but this case shattered Jason's mother and other family members. I'm sure Damien's and Jessie's folks were the same. Despite any differences we have with our parents, it is usually them we turn to when we are in trouble. No matter what they have done to us, we want our mothers or fathers in times of stress. .

    In all, this movie was very well done while still missing what I've mentioned and the supporter movement that began a few years later. I felt quite alone for a while. I'm glad I wasn't. There was simply not enough time to show everything. The movie would have been a mini-series. This, along with the documentaries made, would give a new person a glimpse of the case. Yet, there is an unbelievable amount of information lurking out there that should be examined. I never thought Jessie, Jason, or Damien were guilty, and I'm not trying to sway anyone's opinion or suggesting suspects. I know who didn't do it. Let's put it that way. Research, read, watch, whatever, and make up your own mind. Mara Leveritt has put her heart and soul into this case, as well as many others. The men are free, but have lost a good chunk of their lives. They all seem to be moving on and that is all anyone who supports them can wish. As for the victims, they will never have true justice or peace until the real culprit is caught and Jessie, Jason, and Damien exonerated.

    I have not and will never forget the victims, their parents, or the three men themselves. People often believe that supporters do not have any feelings whatsoever about Stevie, Christopher, or Michael. Those who assume such are wrong. I remember them every year when May 5 arrives. I know others who always do as well. I simply hope one day that Ms. Hicks, Mr. Byers, and the Moores can find closure. I hope exoneration will eventually be possible if the right person(s) come forward.

    If you’ve seen the HBO documentaries, or have read anything about the case of the West Memphis Three this is a cool film letting you know what lead up to the events of the arrests, and then forward.
    This whole case is a heartbreaking, it shows just how quick justice can be perverted and the families of the victims still have to live life with unanswered questions.
    18 years these three men spent in prison because of prejudice and a crooked judge.

    I was skeptical about this after reading some of the reviews, but this movie was heart wrenchingly good. I am so glad I bought it. The storyline was hard to watch unfold, as a parent. The acting was spot on by Reese Witherspoon. You could feel her heart break! You could hear her pain. Definitely recommend if you want an On the Edge of Your Seat kind of movie.
