The Thin Blue Line

"Thin Blue Line" is an early and extended version of "Forensic Files." The biggest difference is that "Forensic Files" focuses on the evidence used to catch a criminal whereas "Thin Blue Line" focused on evidence to exonerate a man falsely accused.

The Thin Blue Line is a typical crowd-pleaser, and maybe that's the problem. Critics found that the show didn't offer anything new.

Rowan Atkinson is a talented actor and comedian, I can't recall any works with his participation being dull or benighted. Sitcom The Thin Blue Line is another fine example where he and his co-actors fill in witty scripts by Ben Elton.

This is a timeless classic in every sense. How long have there been innocent people accused and punished for crimes at the hands of shallow people for shallow purposes?

I am in UK and - to some degree - this film was spoilt for me by the diction of many of the "cast" - how much better this would have been with added subtitles. The overall thrust of the film however is worrying.

This documentary gives a chilling and insightful look into the ways the American justice system worked, back in the eighties.A cop gets killed.

Errol Morris is a brilliant writer/director. His documentary style is unique and feels almost clinical.

If you can only see one movie in your life, this is the one it should be. "The Thin Blue Line" will give you a new perspective on reality, truth and subjectivity.

Erroll Morris' groundbreaking documentary is an unlikely hybrid of investigative journalism and creative art, revisiting a Texas murder case compromised by legal errors and human ignorance. The film assembles a compelling presentation of facts, evidence, clues and speculation surrounding the arrest and conviction of (possibly) an innocent man, accused of murdering a Dallas cop.
