"You know, I think love the antihero a little bit. The one that you just end up going, “Come on, you can make it. You can turn yourself around.” I loved Dead Man Walking. One of [Sean Penn’s] most brilliant performances. The fact that he manages to get you, by the end, wanting him to live, even after the most heinous crimes, is jaw-dropping to me. You start hating him, and you’re like, “You’re despicable.” And then… I just find it amazing. Only Sean Penn could do that. I think he’s amazing."

Between Se7en and Fight Club, David Fincher directed this forgotten thriller with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn. I love how the game starts very subdued and gradually builds in intensity throughout the film. The ending is really good the first time you see it; however, if you start to think about it too much, you start to question if it was really plausible.

Still highly recommended.
