6. I Agree Regarding Kevin Spacey
IMO he's currently the most underrated actor around.

2. I Found it Very Thought-Provoking
although I found the premise hard to swallow. Still, worth watching.

5. I thought it was amazing
Edited on Sun Sep-26-04 01:32 PM by bigwillq
Really made you think about certain issues, mainly the death penalty, duh! that's what the movie is about but it also got me thinking about our judical system and how at times it is unfair.

Spacey is amazing as is Laura Linney.

I thought Kate Winslet was a bit miscast. I would loved to have seen Ashley Judd in the role.

It was very good. The last 10 minutes I sat there in awe. Don't think I blinked except to let the tears roll off my eyes and down my face. BTW, that isn't a spoiler, I cry at a lot of movies if they move me for certain reasons.

7. Thanks everyone
I went out and bought it because of Spacey, and was having a little buyer's remorse. Appreciate the feedback.

11. Anyone not like it?
I feel we're setting the expectations too high for Mr. Pitt.
