Frans B @FransB 3d Brilliant, powerful and shockingly revealing movie. It will make you think and doubt. Tim Robbins masterpiece. Surely an epic classic. Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn so absolutely and unabashedly convincing in character, whole stellar cast excels in character. This is not a preaching, it's the harsh reality and unsettling elements of this topic. So much emotion, intrigue, drama, suspense and real life dilemma. Absolute must - see See more Margaret T @Margaret47 Apr 18 It's possible to love this film no matter how you feel about capital punishment (my own opinion on it changes constantly). Whatever your beliefs, I defy anyone not to be moved by this film. The last quarter of it always brings me to tears, a very rare thing for me. Amazing work from the two leads. (I don't recommend letting it decide your opinion on capital punishment, however. The real life Poncelet and Prejean were not as sympathetic.)

I love the execution where the nurse rubs alcohol on Penn's arm during the lethal injection setup. Was his corpse going to get sepsis or hepatitis?

Tim Robbins directed a classic. See more Christopher J. @CMURDR77 Jan 4 Penn’s breakout role in my opinion and SS shines as always. The Matthew Poncelet character is not a complex one but the role is as complex as it gets. The whole fascination with what happens on Death Row as the months count down until the Days dwindle to weeks then to the final days and then the final hours. Jack Black actually shines in his minor role as MPs little brother. I think Penn took roles like this one to get the Spicoli character as far removed has he could get it and this role definitely did that. Whenever I see Ermey is in something I always give whatever it is a watch. I enjoyed the both sides this film let us see. The families of the murdered and the family of the convicted.
