    It's an extended "Law & Order" that never settles on a verdict.

    Panettiere takes a tricky role and does it, at least, some justice.

    This ethically debatable movie depicts her as a brat abroad, enjoying sex and drugs with her boyfriend, and implies Knox (who is appealing her conviction) did the deed.

    After watching the movie, I may not have actually changed my mind about her innocence--but for the first time, I sure have doubts.

    Knox is neither absolved nor condemned, and you'll end up with more questions that you began with. But pay close attention: There are many telling little details throughout.

    Whatever the complaints about the movie, it brings home, as few films on such themes ever do, the terrors of accusation and conviction.
