AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The Couchpotatoes The Life Of David Gale is a very interesting and entertaining movie to watch. The story-line is a thing manhood will debate over forever. Should we execute some people for the crimes they committed? Is the death penalty humane and is it flawless? My own opinion is no because you can't be sure about every crime committed and so even if there is only 0.1% chance that the jury or/and judge had it wrong it's still 0.1% too much. There are enough innocent people executed by mistake and that makes us not better then any other murderer. About the movie itself the story is very well written and is a delight to watch. The two main actors Kevin Spacey and Kate Winslet are perfect for this movie. I thought Kevin Spacey was outstanding in his role. The rest of the cast is also quality. there is nothing bad to say about The Life Of David Gale. It's an emotional movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat during the entire movie. A must watch!

inioi Committed film on the death penalty.The plot is absolutely believable and keeps you stick to your seat during the whole movie, since it has some "thriller features".The acting is superb, Kevin Spacey, Kate Winslet, Laura Linney...and the supporting actors are also great: Gabriel Mann, Matt Craven, Leon Rippy...The point is in the end of the movie, which i will not reveal.Everyone has to take their own conclusions.Visceral and shocking, this movie will not leave you indifferent.Enjoy it.9/10

moonspinner55 Intrepid female magazine reporter--and the sarcastic intern she's been forced to "babysit"--have just four days to complete the background story of a Texas college professor (and Death Row abolitionist!) who's been found guilty of murdering a colleague and is nearing his short stint on Death Row. Charles Randolph's poorly-conceived and written screenplay trots out clues and crimes like Murder For Dummies; it's all florid nonsense and exploitative shocks. There are 'key words' pretentiously dotting the scenario, a cowboy stalker used as a plot function, a rape subplot used for a ridiculous story twist, operatic symbolism, and arguments against capital punishment parlayed for an offensive doubled-edged surprise. Kate Winslet, as writer Bitsey Bloom (!), is sluggish at putting the pieces together, while Kevin Spacey (sitting smug behind the prison-glass like a junior-league Hannibal Lecter) is at his most opaque and annoying. Alan Parker's direction is crass when it is not being tasteless, while the only character worth caring about ends up dead--and that precise death (what it means and how it is achieved) sullies even she. ** from ****

jameswilliams784 Having read many of the reviews, I fail to understand how so many can view this as a bad movie. I thought this was a thought provoking movie and certainly a lot better than what a lot of people are saying about it. Outstanding performances by Kate Winlset and Kevin Spacey. The story revolves around a Professor who is on death row for the rape and murder of a colleague. Kevin Spacey plays this role excellently. Kate Winslet is a reporter who is given the chance by Spacey to tell his story. I do not wish to spoil the ending for anyone who decides to watch this movie so suffice to say, to get this movie will need to watch it from the beginning and keep track of what is happening. Some things will happen early in the movie that don't seem to be important yet the end up being critical.
