It's a well told story of contemporary people in our society, actually a handful of stories interwoven. That each character has a reality that plays true and something actually happens for each of them is a credit to the production. The music is very well suited to the themes and a fine track to own in my opinion. It is easy to see that some reviewers were confused by the visual treatment. It's a mystery-thriller not an issue film, but the shooting style is more like a news story. Some reviewers stated that a position on the death penalty issue was not really taken or if it was taken the case was not really made. That is true because it's not a position film, it's a drama and a very good one. The characters make their own cases and fight their own battles. Excellence is in the original script, casting, acting, music and direction.
