Review

USA Today, 07/29/2005, p.4E, "The most provocative movie ever about miscarried justice -- and a heavy influence on the following decade's non-fiction TV crime shows."

Empire, 02/01/2008, p.143, 4 stars out of 5 -- "As gripping as any thriller, this is a rare film that actually saved someone's life."

Variety, 03/23/1988, "...THE THIN BLUE LINE constitutes a mesmerizing reconstruction and investigation of a senseless murder....[The] visual design, lighting and editing are impeccable..."

New York Times, 08/26/1988, p.C6, "...A brilliant work of pulp fiction....[Morris creates] a vision that is both poetic and perverse..."

Sight and Sound, 03/01/2001, p.66, "...[A] groundbreaking documentary....[The] relentless Philip Glass music adds to the sense of forboding..."

Film Comment, 06/01/1988, p.2-6, "...The combination of objective truth and experience adds up in THE THIN BLUE LINE to a philosophical horror..."

Los Angeles Times, 09/02/1988, p.C4, "...Fascinating....Morris pulls off a genuine shocker to cap his film..."

Title Note

Randall Adams was eventually released from prison as a result of the attention the film brought to his case. The other man who was also charged with the murder confessed to the filmmaker that he shot the police officer.
