The movie follows sister Helen Prejean, who receives a letter from Matthew Poncelet as he is scheduled to be executed soon for the rape and murder of two teenagers and he needs her help with a final appeal. While comforting a convicted killer on death row, Helen empathizes with both the killer and his victim's families.
is the finest, least compromised film about capital punishment ever advancing a gently stated 'anti' view but going the extra 100 miles to give victims their due.

Has the distinction of including not one, but two of the greatest screen performances of all time...undeniably one of the most gut-churning emotional experiences of 1990s cinema... [Blu-ray]
Tim Robbins's balanced yet uncompromising approach refuses to judge any of the characters, including the killer (superlatively played by Sean Penn), instead giving each a fair chance to present their case with dignity and respect.
