For people who haven't seen it...

Rating: 9/10 (19 October 2003)

I thought this movie was great (9/10) BUT I can see people not liking it for the following reasons: 1. It is very long. 2. It has some "supernatural" elements to it. 3. It takes place on death row, so there are some execution scenes that are fairly extreme.
I see that some people have complained that this movie is sappy. Personally, I think there is plenty of darkness in this movie that keeps it from being sappy. All in all, I'd say it is like Shawshank Redemption meets the television show "Amazing Stories."
