    This one hits hard! Great film with a very deep message.

    It's a real shame as this film has some really good ingredients including a fantastic cast and characters as well as the over arching theme of the death penalty. It's certainly a watchable tale, even 20 years on. However some key elements of the story are clumsily written and I'm sure could have been far more gracefully spun into the script and end product.

    even though the ending is predictable now, it probably wasn't 20 years ago when it came out - Kate & Kevin played their parts really well & overall I really love movies like this. i thought it was well done. a really good watch overall.

    Kevin Spacey gives life to this amazing storyline, it made me wonder how often innocent people are found guilty.

    Great story, great cast and keeps you guessing until the end.

    Yeah, the final twist is truly awful (something you can see coming a mile away but then think, "No, No, there's just no way it would end that way" and then it does) however, the rest of the movie isn't much better. It is the stuff of cheap and trashy melodrama with the added unearned smugness of trying to say something important.

    Thought provoking. Could be better.

    Absolutely love this movie. very gripping with a fab twist! I feel the movie is very underrated sadly, Its a movie I always recommend to people, when it ends it causes debates on the topical issue.

    Fantastic thriller with one heck of a twisted ending - talk about being creative with how you stand up for something.
