    "An Innocent Man" draws on every person's secret fear: what would you do if there was a gross miscarriage of justice and you suddenly find yourself being imprisoned? This film does a competent and realistic job of essaying an innocent man's life behind bars and you could say it makes use of the expected cliche of Jimmie Rainwood's greatest challenge being his day-to-day struggle to survive at the remorseless hands of the other more habitual inmates, except this isn't a cliche at all. It is a chilling fact of prison life all over the world. This is a very interesting film which raises a number of harrowing dilemmas in the story and resolves them in a well engineered, realistic and, for the most part, extremely satisfying way.
