The Life of David Gale
- Rating:
- Director:
- Starring: Gabriel Mann
- Details: US / 132 minutes / (15PG).
Less of a thriller and more of a two hour tirade against the death penalty, The Life of David Gale stars Kevin Spacey as the titular character, a Texas academic and ardent anti-death row campaigner, convicted of the rape and murder of faculty colleague (Linney). Bombastic and heavy-handed, The Life of David Gale is so one-sided in its sermonising that it fails to ignite.
