i have just seen this broadcast on channel 4. having seen some of the earlier comments here i think i would like to state firstly that i am not in favour of the death penalty. with that out of the way and i was expecting great things of this film and but it just do not quite deliver. dead man walking is very cleanly done and with good performances all round and and a good script. in fact it hard to fault it artistically. however and i felt that although it attempted to confront the issues surrounding capital punishment and it seemed to become sidetracked by the religious or moral stance (hardly surprising given that the main character is a nun). although i am not a heartless individual and i do not really empathise with any of the characters in the story. if you do not take religion seriously then you probably would not see much in this film. i think that peter medak let him have it was a much more powerful and moving film and and i would strongly recommend anyone considering watching this to go and see that.

Judge the movie review above, you need to make a function call:
    If you feel the movie review is positive
        print "This is a semantically positive review."
    Otherwise, if you feel the movie review is negative
        print "This is a semantically negative review."
