The journalist Bitsey Bloom (Kate Winslet) is invited by the former professor and director of the philosophy section at Austin University convicted to death David Gale (Kevin Spacey) to have a private and exclusive interview with him for her newspaper for the fees of US$ 500,000.00. David Gale was accused of rape and murder of his colleague and friend Constance Harraway (Laura Linney). They both were activists of the movement against death penalty in Texas called the Deathwatch. Bitsey goes to Texas with the intern Zack Stemmons (Gabriel Mann) and along the three days of close contact with David, she finds the truth behind the whole accusation. This movie is another excellent dramatic thriller of Alan Parker. Having a great screenplay full of plot points and having Kate Winslet, Kevin Spacey and Laura Linney leading a wonderful cast, it is a must-see film. The surprising end is stunning. My vote is ten.
