Execution (2006)
Walk a mile in his shoes...
This film will have you reexamine your feelings about death row. The uncertainty you have over whether or not this is real will only serve as a guide to what your true values are. Does it matter? How would you feel about the death penalty if you were witnessing it first hand? What about in a drama? Why should the two be any different? The filmmakers did a superb job of capturing the gritty truth that surrounds this gory penalty. I will recommend this movie to anyone who says they know for certain that a man should be put to death for his actions.
If we had to walk a mile in the shoes of the criminal, or indeed any of the prison staff I'm quite sure we'd see things differently. This film is a small one in terms of budget and stars. However, it is the small film which often frames America's conscience. I will be very interested to hear what the rest of the country says about this film. It is sure to provide food for thought as the death penalty debate is reexamined throughout the USA.
