Additional InformationDavid Gale (Kevin Spacey) is a Texas professor and anti-death penalty activist who, ironically enough, winds up on death row for the rape and murder of a colleague. Kate Winslet plays Bitsey Bloom, the brave journalist who sets out to tell to his story. In the days leading up to his execution, Gale fills her in on his life via flashbacks, which include political debates, lectures, sex with a student, rape allegations, alcoholism, divorce, and despair. As the hour of his doom approaches, Bitsey becomes convinced that Gale is the victim of a shadowy political conspiracy and races against the clock to prove his innocence.<BR>Director Alan Parker (MISSISSIPPI BURNING) manages to deliver a strong anti-capital punishment message alongside enough twists, turns and shocking moments to keep viewers perched at the edges of their seats. Winslet and Spacey are both riveting in the leads, but its Laura Linney as Gale's alleged victim--a fellow anti-capital punishment activist and close friend--who makes the biggest impression. Gabriel Mann also scores points in a sympathetic role as Bitsey's intern. Nicholas Cage served as the film's producer. The musical score is by Parker's two sons, Jake and Alex.

  • Average film

    I was recommended this film by friends. The reviews were amazing. Critics stated it’s an excellent Thriller. Unfortunately, I found this movie just average. For me in some scenes I found the story disjointed. Some characters were good, others were wooden. I won’t watch it for a long time. Any how you all buy this film, because we all have our own opinions and we have different tastes.

  • A brilliant film

    A captivating, engaging and entertaining narrative on America's obsession with the morality of the death penalty. Kevin Spacey's character draws the audience in through his flawed yet endearing personality showing the sometimes overlooked personal consequences of capital punishment. It's a cracking whodunnit!!!!!!
