I watched this movie on DVD last night. Has anyone else seen it? It has Kevin Spacey and Kate Winslett. This movie was a tense drama with a great twist at the end. I should also warn that the overall message of the movie is anti-death penalty.
But overall I recommend this DVD to all of you.

on the dvd blurb it said " edge of your seat thriller", I beg to differ. I thought it was really predictable.
Is it a prob to be anti-death penalty? I don't think I have ever met anyone who is pro death penalty. Have you? (goodness, that's a floodgate-opener).

That's the problem with Kevin Spacey=he was so good at hiding the surprise ending in The Usual Suspects that we know we need to work hard to unravel endings in his later films. American Beauty's ending was intriguing but yes David Gale was somewhat easy. I thought it was a very good film. It did scare the heck out of me politically since the "Governor" character is very pro death penalty and now runs our country. Who knows how many innocent pepole were executed during his tenure in Texas?

I haven't seen the film, but I know someone called David Gale. He used to sit next to me in science at school.

I thought it was a really good film, though the ending was a little unbelievable.
