An Excellent Example of an Indep. Feature, 22 December 1998
10/10
Author: Natosha (shapeshifter50@yahoo.com) from North Dakota

This movie is a perfect example of what a talented person can do! Bret Michaels(rock singer-POISON) did an excellent job for his debut. He proved that he can create an intelligent dramatic film and not have to use his Looks to get you interested. I especially like the depths of some of the characters: Michael Raine(convict), Jessica Foster(interviewer), and Lucifer(the preacher man). I feel that Bret and Marvin did an excellent job of shooting this film in such claustraphobic conditions(ex.using the actual Tennessee State Prison's Death Row). As far as reviewing: I want everyone to know that the plot has so many twists and turns that it makes you WANT to see the entire film over and over to figure out how everything comes together! It's a very intense and exciting film that keeps you on your toes and you forget that you are watching BRET the singer!
