Watch Dead Man Walking For Free

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Dead Man Walking (1995) is a very emotional film and some scenes, the graphic depictions of a rape and murder in particular. Even though it can be hard to watch sometimes, it still needs to be watched. This has some of the best examples of acting I've ever seen. The performances given by both Sarandon and Penn are absolutely incredible! Susan Sarandon is one of my absolute favorites and this is her best performance in my opinion. She's so emotionally raw and gives her all into every second of this performance. To me, the scene that puts these two legendary actors abilities on display the best, is when Sarandon is talking with Penn before his execution and he admits to the rape and murder. The realness and emotional heaviness of that scene was so large and it brings you into the film and makes you feel what these characters are feeling. Every scene in this film does that for me, I feel that strong emotion and the heavy weight placed upon all of these characters. You feel great sadness and anger because of the horrific crime and you understand the depth of each character and why they do what they do. This film has no 2 dimensional characters and no lazy writing, everything is carefully thought out with detail. This is one of my all time favorite films, and one I recommend to everyone that can handle the heavy subject matter. 10/10 for dead man walking. Or of the best!

Before watching this, I wasn't sure I would like this that much. Maybe a 7 rating or so. After about 30 minutes it became apparent that this movie was going to be carried by Sarandon and Penn and that it was! Phenomenal performances from them. Really some of the better performances I have ever seen and with great chemistry between them. The relationship formed between these two was so sincere that Penn's character hit home for me. Sarandon further carried this with her sympathy for him and the friendship they bound. The greatest aspect of this movie is it shows the good and bad side so it is for you the viewer to decide whether you will cry for the victims families or the convict. This movie definitely made me think deeper into my opinions on capital punishment. All in all an extremely emotional watch that will likely leave you in tears.

First of all: this movie is so well acted that you are directly connected to the emotions of the characters just by looking into their faces. I have never watched a movie before which grabbed me like this by my throat and didn't let go till the end. And when i am talking about the ending i can say that it is amazing! I loved this movie because it is one of those who changes you're feelings not only when you are watching the movie but for a long period of time. Watch it! and i can guarantee that you will cry. As i said not the Story or the plot are the main factor of this movie. The emotions feelings and the greatly connected acting are making this movie a masterpiece. When you have friends who are support the dead sentencing, go and watch the movie with them. I am sure it will change their thoughts about killing people who killed.

Finally watched "Dead Man Walking". Performances outstanding but Penn tends to mumble and his words are lost several times even with re-winding the tape. The use of the cigarette and handcuffs as props are mood setting.The supporting cast is very very good... believable. Penn's family members are especially well done. Jack Black is there as a brother.Robbins focuses many close-ups on Sarandon's huge liquid eyes made more liquid by the events in the plot. The effects with the screens and bars in the visiting room are effective.All in all... it's worth a watch or a re-watch but not on a day when you are feeling at all "down".
