The ending is my only grievance
Checked this movie out of my local library, but I suspect it's available mostly due to the fact that the author of the book this is based on is a local.
From an entertainment standpoint, this is a very engrossing movie, not really a horror in the traditional Halloween or Friday the 13th sense, but more in line with silence of the lambs. A psychological thriller.
The vast majority of the movie is two men conversing, one a psychologist who's been asked to decide if a man on death row is sane or not, if he concludes that the man on death row is insane then the execution needs to be cancelled. The plot contains a few unexpected twists but once you see the twists unfold you pretty much know how the movie is going to end, as a viewer it's up to you to decide if the psychologist made the right decision or not.
From a Christian theological position, the movie stands on solid ground and actually surprised me a bit so I was hoping the therapist would make the opposite decision.
It's a good movie and we need more "Christian movies" like this.
