Review of Dead Man Walking (1995) by Bobby H — 28 Jan 2009
Being a conservative and in high support of the death penalty I was not so sure that I would come out of this movie liking it...
However, Sean Penn for me won me over. He done a great job and out of him and Saradon I personally think it should of been him to win the award. The guy is impressive in every role he plays. He was very convincing through out this entire film. It's very well acted by all parties.
The movie itself turned out to be a truly emotional film - that even had me questioning what was "right in wrong" morally and politically. It takes you over the emotional rollercoaster not just from one side - showing how crime and the death penalty affects all party involved.
Coming out of the movie I still found myself a supporter of the death penalty but I gained much respect for those who face there justice with dignity and to those who must run the process.
This is an amazing film that anyone pro active or against the death penalty should consider checking out.
