The Unspoken Truth 1995 American mystery thriller review
Brianne Hawkins is a young woman married to a mentally unstable husband, Clay. One night, while they were in a bar, a squabble leads to a confrontation between Clay and another man, who ends up shot dead. The police arrest the couple and Brianne, despite lack of evidence and inconclusive witness reports, is sent to jail for murder. Her family tries to prove that Clay was the one, who pulled the trigger, even though Brianne has initially confessed that she is guilty. They were both sitting in the car when the shot rang out, and no witness can prove or disprove the guilt of the young woman. But while behind the bars, Brianne finds a helping hand that could save her life.
True-crime story based on Brianne Hawkins story, who was sent to prison for murder even though it was based only on her own confession. The film dives into an uneasy topic of toxic relationships, which can make people do things that, on the surface, might seem illogical. While it was a low-budget production, it is a decent movie that will make you wonder how many other innocent people still could be in jail because of the flawed justice system.
