Roger Ebert
Eastwood uses this rhythm to make 'True Crime' into a wickedly effective thriller.

The New York Times
In an involving thriller that takes on growing urgency as Everett gets hooked by the Beachum case, Eastwood devotes as much attention to rueful character study as he does to the crime story at hand.

IMDb
It's a perfunctory, suspenseful look at a flawed-man though hard-edged journalist (Eastwood) who is trying to find the truth of a death years earlier to save a man's life on death row.

Rotten Tomatoes
Clint Eastwood was a miscast. Acting was bad, no proper screenplay and 2hr 7mins 24secs waste of my time. But Isaiah Washington's performance as Frank Beechum was outstanding.
