The Life of David Gale

Synopsis

The crime is clear. The truth is not.

The Life of David Gale is a powerful thriller from Alan Parker. David Gale (Kevin Spacey), a leading death penalty opponent finds himself on death row for the rape and murder of fellow activist Constance Harraway (Laura Linney). With only three days before his scheduled execution, Gale agrees to give reporter Elizabeth "Bitsey" Bloom (Kate Winslet) an exclusive interview. But Bitsey soon realises that this assignment is more than she bargained for, and that a man's life is in her hands. Putting her own safety in jeopardy, she frantically races to piece together the shocking events surrounding the murder before it's too late.

This is one of those movies where you can't bring yourself to say you 'loved it' due to its content but probably should because it was well done. Still, I can't bring myself to give it a 4... Regardless, Parker's work is brilliant with an exceptional cast headed by my favourite Spacey and the always stunning Winslet. Despite the obvious direction of the storyline involving Mitra (which feels so much like Wild Things its not funny), this really has nothing to do with the rest of the film. And thank goodness. Because it actually discovers something quite dark instead. It is superbly filmed and for a drama, it holds some thriller qualities, often evident in Parker's work. Brilliant film and well worth the watch.

Justice doesn't always prevail and David Gale played by Kevin Spacey made this message very clear. Kate Winslet was brilliant too as the reporter who finally found out the truth the hard way. 5 stars +

I really like Kevin Spacey, and I really liked the movie. It had some flaws that made some of the story line a bit implausible, but I found the movie entertaining nonetheless.
