Movie Info

Based on a true story, this made-for-cable drama focuses on the plight of 14-year-old Michael Crowe (Mark Rendall). When his younger sister is found murdered in her bed, Michael is accused of the crime and hauled into the local police station. After a grueling interrogation, the cops manage to coerce a confession out of the beleaguered boy. Michael's mother, Cheryl (Ally Sheedy), together with a small band of sympathizers, desperately takes on "the System" to fight for the boy's fundamental legal rights. The Interrogation of Michael Crowe debuted December 4, 2002, as one of several reality-based movies produced for the Court TV cable service.

That poor kid. Those detectives had to have been heartless to do that. It was very hard to watch.

Fares reasonably well as a made-for-TV movie displaying an adverse police procedural & exploring its negative effects.

BAD MOVIE...BAD BAD MOVIE!!! The plot is interesting but the film is sloppy and man Ally Sheedy overacted to the point where it was embarrasing to watch-yikes!!! Also, the "artistic liscense" taken re: the police and tactics was just absurd. Another story gone bad...
