i saw this movie many years ago and it has never left my list of all time best films ever made. when i first watched it and i was just beginning what has become a life long passion for justice. it gave an interesting perspective of the death penalty and also gave me a few things to think about. when you have a cast like this one and you are right to assume it is going to be nothing short of fabulous. this is and by far and the best role i have ever seen sean penn play (along with i am sam). he nails the role and doesn not glamourize his actions while doing so. he manages to maintain a level of debauchery throughout the movie that i think was very important. up until the very end and he does not try to be seen as anything more than what he is. he is a sick man who regrets his past and but still makes excuses for it. he ends up able to redeem his sense of self worth as much as a convicted (and guilty) murderer can through the aid of susan sarandon character and sister helen prejean. her character taught me about good will towards others without making me forget how horrible a person actions can be and without making excuses for them. the supporting cast was also top notch. i was surprised to see a small cameo of jack black in this film given the funny man he has become today. i loved this movie for both personal reasons and just because it was a work of cinematic art. and and in my opinion and this is one of the rare exceptions when the movie far out did the book.
