Trivia

Errores
The story is set in Washington State, on the U.S. Pacific coast. The lighthouse shown in the opening scenes is Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, just outside Portland, on the Atlantic coast. George Washington commissioned its construction, and it's featured on the Maine State U.S. Quarter.

9/10

It's "Stand By Me" and "To Kill A Mockingbird" blended into one.

A tightly wound and dynamic thriller that centers around a local news reporter (Ethan Hawke) who runs into an old childhood flame part friend (Youri Kudoh) during a murder trial in a small Washington town during the early 1950s. Director Scott Hicks, who made a name for himself and actor Geoffrey Rush in "Shine", takes an interesting approach in putting plenty of flashbacks that go back to the late 1930s and it works wonderfully. The film's best (and the saddest) flashback scene is witnessing every Japanese person being hauled off in (trucks or trains) to special camps. The courtroom scenes are excellent and watching the devoted prosecutor (James Rebhorn) and an aging, but determined defense attorney (Max von Sydow, who should have snatched a nod for Best Supporting Actor) make their cases is almost perfect. The film is backed by Robert Richardson's terrific cinematography and composer James Newton Howard's gentle and moving score. It's "Stand By Me" meets "To Kill A Mockingbird".
