This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A powerful performance by Connie Nielsen, well supported by Aidan Quinn and Kelly Preston. The plot holes don't really matter here, it's the psyche of Charlotte Cory, as revealed by Nielson, that draws one through this film. Like Quinn's character Frank, one needs to learn why this beautiful person will passively accept execution by the state rather than defend her innocence. Self-condemned, because she miserably failed her sister Stella years before, Charlotte seems to believe she can atone for her sins in a twisted kind of sacrifice.Neilsen reveals with her face and eyes the inner beauty of her character, the sadness on learning the (false?) circumstances of her father's death, the meaningfulness of her relationship with Frank, the love of her sister, the hope of a new life.Aidan Quinn provides a solid, believable Frank, the shyster turning hero, resonating with Nielsen throughout.The overwhelming impression of this film is its realism, in character portrayal, settings, musical score, it seems authentic, even when viewed through the lens of a security camera. In contrast, the fantasy sequences are whimsical and far out.The solution of the mystery is satisfying, leading to a good ending.

For me "Return to Sender" is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's extremely thrilling and I'm so happy about the ending, because I never knew how it will end. The two main actors Aidan Quinn and Connie Nielsen are playing excellent and I can say nothing bad about this film. Also the storyline is really good, because it could really happen. It's a pity that this movie hasn't as much appreciation as a Hollywood movie, but perhaps that's why it is so well-done.So i'm recommend it to everyone who is interested in such movies. Another good film is "Last Dance", which is about the same topic.

As the "hero" was being chased by a blind gunman, I told my wife that if the good ol' fat cop comes along at the last minute and saves him, I'd be on this site to rubbish it.Sure enough as the gun was pointed at the guys head, "bang" fat cop kills the blind guy from behind. Why do directors still use these hackneyed worn out clichés? There are loads of other stupid things like our hero picking the right key from a large bunch in the dark at the first attempt to open a door; like a level crossing with off stage sound of a train but no flashing lights.Having said all that, as an earlier writer has written, it is a nice movie to watch if you have nothing else to do - but I'd really think first if this wouldn't be an opportunity to do those chores you've been putting off.

Return to Sender, a.k.a. Convicted, is almost imperfect. The one good thing about this particular film was that I was never bored. That being said, the reviews that hail this movie as a low-budget success may not have watched the same movie that I saw.Rather than write a review and tell you what happens and what works and doesn't work, I will simply comment that nothing works. There are plot holes in this movie that you can drive a semi through. The acting in the film is not very good, although that may be a result of a script so poorly worded that it could have been ghost written by George Lucas. There was no need for exceptional sets or costumes for this particular movie and everything seemed appropriate. Did I mention that there were some plot holes? By the end of the movie, you are wondering how a blind guy can be such a good shot with a shotgun, why Kelly Preston trusts Aidan Quinn, why she would fall asleep the night before her client is supposed to be killed, how Aidan Quinn can drive 400 miles in such a short time with a car that keeps breaking down during the rest of the movie, why Aidan Quinn didn't by a fifth instead of a bunch of nips, etc.With all that being said, this is certainly a B-movie, and a terrible one at that. The unfortunate thing is that it just isn't bad enough to be good. If you value your time, please let this serve as a public service message to stay away from this one.
