Plot

A documentary about the death penalty in Texas.

Sinekatalog’s take

Werner Herzog's documentary on a Texas triple murder and its death-row convict is sombre and humane. Without moralising, he lets the interviews reveal violence, loss and the cost of capital punishment.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
