Thank you, reviewers, for the heads-up. I was just about to purchase this DVD when I decided to look at customer reviews. So this movie has been cut! Thanks to all of you for the alert. You've saved me return-shipping money, a trip to the post office, and aggrevation.
It then occurred to me that the title of the original movie was "A Matter of Justice." Amazon sells that and its one review is good. The price is more than I wish to pay at this time, so I'll just add it to my wish list.
Sliced and diced movies are most irritating. It would be nice if retailers would add a lable to indicate whether a movie is complete (as seen on TV or in the movie theaters) or edited.
Final Justice I have seen this movie on TV a dozen or so times. I was very disappointed in this video. Sooooooo much of the familar scenes were cut out, and one scene was added that, in my opinon, was not needed. I prefer the TV version. I was not happy with the cut scenes at all. :( :( :( Therefore, if you are an avid fan of the tv version of this movie DO NOT BUY this dvd.
Disappointing As a TV mini-series, this was interesting, however, so many scenes were cut to make the running time shorter for DVD that the story lacks clarity. Very disappointed w/this DVD.
Justice does truly prevail! This is an EXCELLENT story of how never giving up on seeking the truth prevails when all else fails. Patty Duke & Martin Sheen are outstanding as parents who, despite their different views about what they can do to get justice for the murder of their son, come together in one of the most moving stories ever written. This story and the outcome will be one that stays with you for life and renew your faith in justice.
