Dead Man Walking (1995)

I really wasn't sure what to expect from this movie. I was worried it would mostly spend all its time making its case against the death penalty, but it didn't. It felt very real and very fairly balanced. The side plot with the parents was fascinating. Its take on Christianity was also very refreshing - very friendly, even if it was slightly mixed up in some areas. Overall, it was a really fascinating and very well-done film. VERY well-done. 4 stars.
