Riveting! Wonderful acting and story here. A really great watch
Dead Man Walking hits hard. Susan Sarandon nails it, making you question everything. A rollercoaster of emotions that lingers.
Good look into our human side. Cried a lot. Recommend to see.
Classic stuff that isn't boring or overrated either. Great acting, great characters, cast, and overall story line here, worth the watch
An intelligent and balanced film and beautifully made. Fabulous performances from Penn and Sarandon. Provocative!
regardless of what a prisoners acts, this film looks at the humanity beyond the worldly sins. compassion & remorse is what is examined here
Excellent character study and powerful exploration of the topics tackled.
The 90’s has probably the most compelling dramas of cinema. A lot of them are impeccably done.
Very good prison drama, superbly acted with an interesting story. Worth seeing
Gripping and intense. Sensational performance from Sean Penn.
