Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

beatriceyongyuexuan I think that dead man walking is a simple movie with complex emotions. In this movie, the audience sees two sides of things from Sister Helen's point of view. We get a glimpse of so many emotions, from the victim's and the guilty's. As I was tugged between two parties, this movie really made me wonder if there can be a right punishment for crimes. The movie emphasized on the fact that murderers are humans too, can feel and is able to love just as much, no matter how unforgivable their actions were. I think this movie shows how imperfect we all are, and how we are so unable to be truly freed or satisfied. But nevertheless, only a good movie can draw tears, and it did.

ShiZiph First of all: this movie is so well acted that you are directly connected to the emotions of the characters just by looking into their faces. I have never watched a movie before which grabbed me like this by my throat and didn't let go till the end. And when i am talking about the ending i can say that it is amazing! I loved this movie because it is one of those who changes you're feelings not only when you are watching the movie but for a long period of time. Watch it! and i can guarantee that you will cry. As i said not the Story or the plot are the main factor of this movie. The emotions feelings and the greatly connected acting are making this movie a masterpiece. When you have friends who are support the dead sentencing, go and watch the movie with them. I am sure it will change their thoughts about killing people who killed.

Viraj Kodithuwakku This is a very very doubtful movie in several sides;Humanity,Justice,Credibility & Flexibility of Law,Crime & Punishment,Pardon from the Religion.Each side is too conflicting one to another.Sister Helen is the spiritual adviser of Matthew while the victims are throwing stones at both of them. Religion gives the pardon convict but victims tries to find out the justice through death penalty.What is the right? What is the wrong? Let me ask too, Who is the right? Who is the wrong? What should be the impartial decision?. Let's imagine that one of our family member was slaughtered by someone, then what kinda sense will make us? On the other hand, If we are the religious people what kinda sense will make us? The matter which echoes deeply in our soul is "Should house hold of convict account for the criminal?" Dead Man Walking seriously shows great social problems of such people. Otherwise does law give the pure justice for the society? Matthew counts dates for his execution while the other convict Vitello spends time in prison for life without death penalty. does the law really give people a relief? Absolutely a Perfect movie... Grade:A+

Rohit Garg This film is about how a man, played by Sean Penn, convicted of two teenagers' murder and put on death sentence, comes to terms with his conscience with the help of his spiritual mentor, a nun, played by Susan Sarandon. It unintentionally manages to put the audience in a moral dilemma and makes them feel guilty in the end for sympathizing with a rapist and murderer. Susan delivered an incredible performance trying to defend the indefensible. Her character exposes the viewers to all aspects of the case and brings the best out of Penn as a man as well. The ending is a bit morbid yet gripping & the soundtrack is one of my favorites.
