A very powerful drama!

Dead Man Walking is in my point of view a very typical prison story because the characters were very original of that particularly because of the theme. This was very typical because it is very emotional with a very interesting story. Dead Man Walking is a prison story of what most criminals are like today: looking for forgiveness and a way for him to be forgiven in the easiest way possible. That ... read more

" A movie that excellently shows both sides without taking either one. When Susan Sarandan's character exposes to Sean Penn's the real extent of his racism " ... so it's lazy people that you don't like...?" & then when she finally has him take responsiblity for his sins as a "true son of God", are two of my favorite scenes in any movie, ever."
