There's nary a big surprise, but I defy anyone who sees this film to leave without a warm feeling.

Audience Reviews for The Trial

Oct 24, 2011

Ok made for tv style movie. I wish that Matthew Modine's career had gone better than this. Seems to me that when they "find" God, they find no memorable acting parts to go along with it. Such a shame..
