The life of David Gale

[urbsy]

Just watched this and thought it was well worth a review.

The basic story is of a man on death row , who before his arrest was a keen supporter of abolishing the death sentence.
It tells the story of how he ended up on death row through a series of interviews with a magazine journalist.

It is hard to tell about the film without giving out spoilers so I will leave it at that.

I found this a most compelling film and feel a bit numb after watching it , not in a bad way , but in a most touching way.

I would highly recommend a viewing of it.

My rating 9/10

Just finished watching it, the performances of Spacey and Winslet were 2nd to none, the only criticism I have is that the story is a little far fetched and doesn't really have any basis in reality.

But as I said the acting was strong and Alan Parker is a gr8 film maker. Pity about the script.

7/10
