Author: struggle from United States

It's too bad that so many enthusiastic posters believed it was OK to reveal the gripping end of the film for those who have not yet seen it. It is powerful and disturbing stuff only slightly softened by the fact that you now may know what's coming. No matter, watch this film. Bridges is amazing and the usually bland Lovejoy is wonderfully pathetic.

Small correction to earlier posts suggesting this film and Lang's Fury are based on the same crime. They are not. Fury was based on an Atlanta murder and hanging; this film is based a San Diego crime and it's subsequent grisly outcome.
