Review of Dead Man Walking (1995) by Kyle B — 23 Feb 2015
I'm hit or miss with Sean Penn but wow was he great in this movie. I think he really deserved to win the Oscar over Nicolas Cage on 1995. Penn has 2 Oscars, Milk a deserving one but I think this should have been his other one.
Susan Sarandon is great as ever as a nun that comes to reason with this convict. She is very heartbreaking especially in that climax scene. A well deserved win for her. Tim Robbins directed this movie perfectly and it would be great to see more from him nowadays.
Bruce Springsteen has a great credits song that won him an Oscar and I think this was a very well written movie that deserved some screenplay love. One of the best 1995 movies.
