Down, downer, downest

Rating: 5/10 (29 September 2002)

If you like watching, in detail, executions by electric chair, this is the film for you. A cute mouse, a gentle giant and Tom Hanks cannot make up for a film that is sadistic and no amount of uplifting moments of redemption can overcome the horror.
Exposes of the bad prisons of the 1930's are fine, but should not be cuted up with love for a mouse by the nuts on death row; or supernatural goings on to redeem the fact that an innocent man was put to death. Sorry, I'm just glad I did not pay good money to see this mess in a theater.
