Although an older film,timeless and very capturing.i found I was drawn into the story very early. I don't know if it was based on true life but it is a scenario that could have happened. Amazing film.

Very good performances by all the main characters. I have never been in favour of capital punishment, I am old enough to remember when we still had it in the UK. Though still a child, I remember clearly how I felt at the time of the execution. This film brought those memories back. It highlighted for me the barbarity of the electric chair in particular, and of of capital punishment generally.

Possibly the best dvd I have ever seen. Everything about this film is marvellous and the print is excellent too. The best value for money I have ever had.

This is not a complaint, but I would like to bring to your notice a problem. The picture quality was superb but the sound was almost inordible. We had to play it at full volume, i.e. 100% most of the time and then all of a sudden it would boom out and nearly deafen us.

I bought this DVD as its my all time favourite film and I had to have it in my collection. Tom Hanks is amazingly good as Paul Edgecombe who runs E Block (Death Row)and slowly realises he has something special in prisoner John Kofee. A box of tissues is essential while watching this film..its excellent, well acted and even the horrible little Percy Wetmore even gets his in the end.
An interesting premise, difficult issues explored. Well acted, engaging characters, made me want to keep watching; this is a film I will watch over and over

Absolutely fascinating film. Anger, compassion, cruelty, sympathy. You name it, it's got it. A must see film for anyone with a heart. NOT TO BE MISSED.

A deeply moving story with some strong mystical and occult content. Great characterizations, and very atmospheric. Splendid!

Very good film but there is an incredibly disturbing execution. Apart from that this is a magical and very long film.
