SPOILERS. I loved the movie (minus the horrific execution scenes and other disturbing parts), but the ending I thought fizzled out. After John dies, the scenes with the old man Paul and the mouse are just lame. It was already supernatural enough with John having the special healing power, don't go an make it more hokey with the mouse and the old man living an extra 50 years or whatever. They could have done so much more with the ending, to make the message of executing an innocent man sink in...I wanted to see justice. I wanted to see the case revisited, John proven innocent, I wanted to see the shame of the jury, the judge, the town, and the victims' family as they learned the truth.
