I just saw this movie on DVD. As soon as I finished watching, I felt I had to see it again.
The thought of being killed for money may sound bizarre, but in this movie, it's very realistic.
The movie caught the mindset of a man about to be sacrified very well and you could feel the intensity. It neither condemned nor aprove his decision. But his actions all made sense, so we sympathize but not pity him.
Johnny Depp played the role so well, he was able to convince us that he was just doing his best to help his beloved family.
