this be the most thought provoking capital punishment movie ever . it refuse to seem one side and the emotion felt throughout the story be as real a it can get . this movie have one of the most human ( and i use this term in a good way ) compassionate religious character ever . this movie actually cause me to go out to find and read the book ( which be rare for me ) . sister helen exert more of a spiritual tone than a religious ( which be also rare ) . and it present both side to the issue so that people on both side who watch the movie wouldn not feel that a point be leave out . and we have the director to thank for that . this be not a film for entertainment . but it be film that deliver a message that can reach to the core of your heart . i can not think of another film like it .
