Buffet style

Rating: 7/10 (26 June 2001)

Like other comments here, the present day flashbacks are kind pointless. Especially the ending, it is way too much tongue-in-cheek to be taken seriously. The electirc chair scene for Del was unnecessarily long, not that I am appalled by the violence, but it is kind pointless to go on when we get the picture of what is happening. Hmmm...could there be some anti-death penalty propaganda going around? The performance by the actors are great, no compliants there.

I just think the director/writer did a poor job trying to present a difficult theme, they overdone it by making it cheesy and making the movie long. It is like going to a buffet: you expect a lot, and you see a lot cool offerings, you eat and eat but there are just more and by the time you are done, you are stuffed. That is when you realize that you are full but not satisfied, becasue the producer didn't cocentrate on quality.
