Review of The Life of David Gale (2003) by Buggy B — 14 Jan 2014

Not a bad movie but considering the calibre of actors involved it should have been better and at times was kind of a mess.The story itself is intriguing and keeps you guessing, flipping back and forth in time as professor and anti-capital punishment activist David Gale (Kevin Spacey) tells his story from death row to journalist Bitsey Bloom (Kate Winslet) in the days leading up to his execution for the murder of fellow activist (Laura Linney) I managed to figure out both the twists pretty early on which was aided in part by the bad choice of the opening scene that took away a degree of suspense as it was a huge spoiler.

I also could have done without Kate's OTT crying and wailing session, outside the prison after said scene, that was just too much. 12.13.
