Quiz
An HBO original, this film was part of the pay cable channel's effort to gain TV-movie credibility in the early 90's.

Blooper
[possibly done by filmmakers] Paul's photography of Eames and the other prisoners hands lighting the cigarette wouldn't be possible since Paul is inside the cell and he doesn't move his camera outside of the bars to get that perfect shot.

Citazioni
Steve March (Eames trial prosecuting attorney: I believe that there are people in this world who are possessed by evil forces over which they have absolutely no control. I wish it were possible to separate the man from his evil impulses, that way we could execute the evil and set the man free. Until we can do that, I'm afraid the Eames' of this world just gonna have to die along with their murderous souls. I really, absolutely, believe that.
Paul Marish, Photographer: I met Eames. You scared me a hell of a lot more than he does.

Take a hard look

There are clunky parts to this film, and the film is not flawless. This film obviously, in the vein of The Green Mile and Dead Man Walking, carries a staunch anti-death penalty political view. Those who agree with such a standpoint will rate it far higher than the sum of the parts. For the pro-death penalty crowd, this film undoubtedly is seen as left-leaning liberal crap. While fictitious, the story nonetheless resonates with too many real-life counterparts. The prevailing strength of this film is the social reality that resonate throughout. Undoubtedly, this film's ratings on IMDB will be hurt by political views alone. I invite - no, plead - with all of those like-minded individuals to see the unique possibilities that this film implies. This is one of the disturbing films, like the movie Kids, that should be seen at least once by us all.
