The acting is OK for the most part, nothing noteworthy and the story is nothing new. This is one of those movies that would be fine to watch for free when nothing else is on. Fans of Walker Texas Ranger/Matlock series will probably be this movies biggest fans.
The production values are very shoddy. Solitary confinement right off a commercial kitchen? A prison showing a prefab temporary building and gas pumps? Camara shots of knick knacks instead of character movements? A DA office door leading directly into the courtroom? Usually, even when watching low budget movies, I don't get hung up on how the producer saved money on filming but between the locations, single camara angles, editing and overall production this movie emphasises the low, low end of the scale.
I also think that if this were to be made into a series it would only survive if it managed to capture the Walker TR crowd. It would need some serious sophistication upgrades to appeal to a wider audience.
