A very powerful film with powerful performances
19 April 2006
This movie really shook me and made me question my beliefs. No, it did not turn me from a pro-capital punishment to an anti-capital punishment or vice versa but it did present an alternate view point and very powerfully indeed. Although, I do not have any sympathy for the character played by Sean Penn but it surely did make me feel compassionate about another human being put to death no matter how terrible he was.

Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn really played there parts with utmost conviction and I was glued to TV set from the very beginning till the last credits rolled on the screen. And when I got up I knew that I was a different person, different from the person who had started watching the movie 2 hours ago.
