A disturbing and very thought provoking film into executions, 30 September 2003
Author: Andrew Thomas Crane from Bath, England

I saw this thinking that i have seen a lot and nothing could shock me anymore, I was wrong. The final execution of the man in Beirut over came everything i have seen before. For those who say that more attention should be payed to the victims, they completely lose sight of the fact that the film is saying that the vast majority of people who have been executed in the 20th Century have never committed any 'Real Crime' and have just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. I am a staunch opposer of capital punishment and i have read a lot of books and seen lots of movies with executions in them but i had to see this because it showed the reality of executions, that whether or not these people have committed crimes they are still human beings. At the beginning of the film they tell us to look into the eyes of people about to be executed. While they are being executed they are wearing blindfolds, which is more for the executioners than for the prisoners. By putting a blindfold over a person you effectively remove the humanity from their faces. I for one could never kill a person, regardles of what they've done because in the end they are the same as me. A great film 10/10
