A University of Texas professor of philosophy and capital punishment abolitionist, David Gale (Kevin Spacey), finds himself on Death Row convicted of murder. Days before his execution, skeptical journalist Bitsey Bloom (Kate Winslet) is sent to conduct David Gale's final interview. Unaware that she would not be investigating Dr. Gale, Bitsey and her sympathetic intern leave to Texas for what is to become a story of a lifetime.

"2.7, PC The Life of David Gale rakentaa aluksi ihan hyvin kehikkoa sanomalleen kuolemantuomion kiistanalaisuudesta, mutta loppupuolella elokuva sortuu Kate Winsletin juoksentelulla ynnä muulla "kiireellisyydellä" luomaan tyypillistä hollywoodmaista jännäriä, mitä en tältä tekeleeltä odottanut. Kevin Spacey suoriutuu hyvin, ja olisinkin halunnut elokuvan keskittyvän vielä enemmän hänen hahmonsa tunnetiloihin teloituksen lähestyessä toimittajien haahuilun sijaan."
