Two inept cops who frame An Innocent Man
This is the story about two inept cops who frame AN INNOCENT MAN named Jimmie Rainwood(Tom Selleck). The two plain clothes police officers deviously plant drugs inside Jimmie's home,also using his mailing address. The cops spot a shadow of what looks like a pistol,but is actually a hair dryer. Jimmie was drying his hair after taking a shower. After other officers discover the drugs in Jimmie's home,he is arrested,arraigned,convicted and sent to prison for six years. After Jimmie is released,he and a few friends scheme to incarcerate the drug-planting cops. The cops end up in jail. Jimmie's buddy(F. Murray Abraham),who's still in prison,says at the end of the film,"Ain't life a motherf---er?". This film was not as great as THREE MEN AND A BABY and HER ALIBI,but I loved it.

An Entertainingly Uncomfortable Film
Even though you know what's going to happen to Tom Selleck's character, and you know that the ending will be happy, watching the process is enjoyably discomfiting. This is a plot film -- stuff keeps happening to the main character, things he appears utterly incapable of controlling, and everything spirals right into disaster. Great Friday night fare. Make a lot of popcorn and savor it.

an excellent movie
Very entertaining movie. The characters are all great, the plot and the suspense are terrific.

Best Selleck Drama
I always like Tom Selleck movies. Some are actually very entertaining. This is by far his best dramatic role. I was very impressed how well he played the part of a framed Airline crew chief Jimmie Rainwood. F. Murray Abraham gives a great performance as one of the prison inmates, Virgil Cane, that befriends him. It has all the elements for some good drama, bad cops, drugs, decent and really bad convicts, attractive loving wife, and motive for revenge.

David Rasche and Richard Young do a fine job as the crooked detectives that frame him. I have recommended this to many people since many Selleck fans are not even aware of it. Whether you like Selleck or not you will enjoy this film if you like movies like "The Fugitive","US Marshals", and "Shawshank Redemption". It is being released on DVD soon and you can bet I pre-ordered a copy. ... Read more

FROM VICTIM TO VICTORY
AFTERMATH: A TEST OF LOVE, is an intense, poignant, true story of the Ross Colburn family, and their desperate attempt to keep it all together, when their mother is murdered and brother is seriously injured, in an unfortunate robbery. Dr. Ross Colburn is played by the incomparable Richard Chamberlain. He is a successful Ob/Gyn specialist, whose busy career has kept him extremely busy. The tall, gorgeous actor, decked out in his scrubs, and in his slacks and white coat; was so remindful to me of his Dr. Kildare days, when the handsome physician had millions of women, all over the world, hopelessly in love. After thirty plus years, it was astounding to see how beautifully the actor has matured. He is even more handsome with maturity, and has gorgeous silver streaks in his hair, and wonderful laugh lines (I call them krinkles), etched in his beautiful face. His wife, Irene, is played by the wonderful Michael Learned, who has all through the years, taken good care of this family, to allow her husband more time to devote to his medical practice. When she is senselessly murdered in a robbery, Dr. Colburn attempts to heal his grieving family and keep them together. The in depth characterization present in this film, was amazing; we really got to know this family. Dr. Colburn's interaction with each child was sheer magic, and he showed a great emotional range in this film. It was obvious, Richard Chamberlain understood the intense sorrow, and agony his character experienced, and really reached down into the depth's of his being, to bring a masterful performance to the screen. This is a true story , and is based on the book, VICTIM, by Gary Kinder. This moving story is a "must have", for all Richard Chamberlain fans. ... Read more
