Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A thought-provoking drama not to be missed or dismissed.

fresh:
Dead Man Walking could easily be manipulative or exploitative, but it's neither. Instead, this is hard-hitting drama that neither accepts nor offers quarter.

fresh:
Takes us along on the reluctant, difficult, essentially spiritual journey these two unlikely people make together.

An intelligent, balanced, devastating movie.

fresh:
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.
