Review of The Jordan Chance

This movie is quite fast paced, with quite a few twists and turns. I got hooked at the very beginning, when the experienced sheriff arrives on the scene of a crime, just after the departure of the coroner (who went for breakfast - a detail that is very true to life!), moves the body, and finds evidence that had been ignored up to then. I've spoken to an undertaker who had a similar experience happen to him, when coming to pick up the corpse of a young man who had died in his home: the coroner had put the cause of death down as suicide... It was murder, all he needed to do was to move the body to find that out! It's small details like that which makes a plot more believable. The other reason I really liked watching this movie is that it discusses the issue of anti Mexican racism... and that movie was released in 1978. Already...
