Continuity: In the scene where the two reporters are startled to find that Betsey's hotel room is somehow open, she asks Zack to come look. Zack clearly puts down the silver briefcase and walks over. In the next take it is back in his hand and given the sincerety of the situation he wouldn't of gone back to get it in the mean time. moreQuotes:
David Gale: [while drunk] Socrates was ugly, Plato was fat, and, um, and Aristotle was a prissy dresser! moreSoundtrack:

If you're a fan of Kevin Spacey's, you will not be let down by "The Life of David Gale." Do not read reviews. Do not watch stuff about it on television. Just go see it and experience it for yourself. It's not a perfect film by any stretch (as many, MANY critics have been pointing out), but it does grab you and it does deliver.
