It may seem weird that in my one line summary that I said that Tim Robbins is amazing while the film has such great acting and feeling that I mention Robbins. Well, Robbins has proved himself with this film as a incredible film-man, who can act, produce, and now write and direct (even though he made a satire in 1992). He delivers a powerful (if not climatic) film with 2 performances that make this film all the worth while- Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn. Penn (in a Oscar nomination nabbing role) plays a convicted killer of 2 people on death row and Sarandon (in a Oscar nabbing role) as the nun who is trying to redeem him before he passes on. To some it might seem boring that there is no plot and only a story. But to these same people they probably thought Blankman was the best film of the year. A great director (like Robbins) can tell a story and keep (some of) a audience in control and awe. This film does that, without revealing if it is for or against the death penalty. One of the best films of 1995. A+
