Most helpful review The Life Of David Gale

  • Power performance!

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Spacey is a gem and his performance here is nothing short of suberb. he has that Anthony Hopkins-like smirk and menacing presence that leaves you guessing as to his guilt or innocence throughout the entire movie.

    The plot has been well stiched together as its one of those stories that leaving you wondering long after the credits role.

    Everybody has an opinion on the death penalty and I venture to say most people will have something to say about this movie!

    A fantastic thriller, played brilliantly by the cast, Spacey, Winslett and Linney are all wonderful and play they roles so believably. The plot keeps you on the edge of your seat and the twists are brilliantly timed and played. A definite must see movie.

    Tense death row drama. Unpicking reality, it builds steadily to an exciting climax. What a treat for Kevin Spacey fans!

    With fantastic pefomaces that shouldve had the accemdy owe them oscar nod and a tense, rollarcoaster of emotions storyline, The life of David Gale, will sink into your skin and never let go even after the surprise twist at the final few minutes. Kevin Spacey is fantasic as Gale, a man on death row after the brutal rape n murder of his friend. He asks for journerlist Bitsey Bloom played by brilliantly flawless Kate Winselt to write down his life story from successful teacher to a broken down man accused for a crime he may or may not have comitted. The tension builds from the moment the film begins, it is unsettling at times and will use your emotions constanly plus making you think is he innocent or capable to kill. Its one I definaly reccomend you must see.
