The Pardon brings you, the viewer, front and center into the middle of the real-life story of Toni Jo Henry and the murder trial that ensues. Performances from actors John Hawkes, Jaime King and T.J. Thyne are gripping and evoke deep emotional connections with each character. While the subject of childhood abuse introduces us into the unveiling storyline, a more compelling bond of strength, friendship and resilience personifies the true heart of this film!The movie footage captures some amazing scenes, both in mood and context, while the close-ups of Jaime King give us a true "look" into the heart and soul of Toni Jo. A refreshing view into some perhaps forgotten pages of history. A remarkably well written and poignant movie you will not want to miss! Exceptional.

The Pardon is a very engaging film with exceptional acting that tells a dramatic, heart wrenching tale. It is based on the true life story of Toni Jo Henry and her sensational murder trial in the 1940's in Louisiana. The Pardon shows the dramatic influence that childhood abuse has in one's later life. It is the story of finally finding love and its power to heal. The filming and powerful aura created make this a movie that will stay with the viewer long after seeing it. And Jaime King, John Hawkes, and T.J. Thyne give great performances that captivate you the entire movie. I highly recommend seeing this film if you like a dramatic, well told story with excellent acting, mood, and filming.

While the production was low budget, the story was a powerful one. After a slow and depressing start to a tragic tale of a young woman forced down a path of poor choices and lack of familial support further disenfranchised by a corrupt justice system, I wondered what was the point of continuing to watch this depressing movie. Then the direction changes and becomes a story of trust, love and forgiveness. I have always been a fan of Jaime King but she truly raises the bar with her passionate portrayal of Toni Jo Henry and how she found redemption and hope in her final days.

I really can't see any basis for a poor review on this film. The acting was all done quite well, and the cinematography did a great job of reminding us of the time frame in which the story originated (other than it being colonized). It has a sad ending because of the outcome we were told about in the beginning, but the writers did a wonderful job skipping through her sad life and bringing us in touch with the abuse she faced at such a young age. Hope enough positive reviews help to bring the rating up where it truly belongs.

Keep it simple...this movie is a waste of time! However, and a big however...Jaime King's performance as Toni Jo Henry, the condemned killer is good, very good and perhaps the only reason to see the complete movie.

The overall production is amateurish. Everything from props, makeup, editing, acting, directing somehow is attention getting in an annoying way.

But, the true story line keeps your attention along with King's performance. (spoiler possible) By the time Toni Jo sits in the electric chair we really don't care one way or the other. After all she was involved in the murder at least as an accomplice.

It's on Netflix (as of 12-22-2015)
