About Benefit of the Doubt
Twenty two years earlier, Karen helped convict her father, Frank, for the murder of her mother. With his new freedom, thanks to parole, Frank returns home to seek revenge. Having always pleaded his innocence, Frank soon works his way back into Karen's life.
Directed by Jonathan Heap, Benefit of the Doubt leans on a strong ensemble — Donald Sutherland, Amy Irving, Rider Strong — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1993.
