    One of the best TV movies I've ever seen

    I've seen The Jericho Mile several times. In fact it's on my TV right now as I type this. I've always thought it was one of the best TV movies ever. Peter Strauss is outstanding in this role.

    To sum things up...if you haven't seen The Jericho Mile, it's definitely worth a watch.
