What Reelgood users are saying

The movie "Trial by Fire" initially moved viewers emotionally, but some later criticized it as anti-capital-punishment and anti-Republican propaganda. A review suggests watching "Evil Lives Here" for a different perspective on Todd, portraying him as violent and abusive.

When I first watched this movie, I loved it. However, now I realize it was just anti-capital-punishment, anti-republican propaganda. If you want the real truth of what happened watch "Evil Lives Here" Season 9, Episode 1. Todd was not innocent. He was a violent and abusive man who seemed to care more about his belongings than his own family.
