I agree this was a thought provoking movie but I couldn't get past some of the basic flaws - there seemed no motivation for the murder; Lisa's closeness to her father who must have been in jail as long as she can remember; and most of all, the adoption sub-plot. I couldn't help but think of the child's point of view; she was being told to go and live with the people who wanted her father killed! Under the circumstances she was very calm about it.
I would also imagine a stay of execution on compassionate grounds would have stood a good chance of success given what happened towards the end of the film. Surely even Americans aren't that heartless!
