Review of The Life of David Gale (2003) by Paul R — 08 Sep 2012

I so want to love this film as the story is fantastic, engrossing and based around ideals and beliefs - how they effect us - how far we will go to uphold them. The film itself just seemed to pale against its story.

A misplaced soundtrack and bland direction throw up no suprises or interest. Spacey, Linney & Winslet are good and keep the film going inspite of its flaws. You can see the twists coming but that doesn't spoil the story.

Its an interesting film that deserved to be so much more.
