This is an intriguing, claustrophobic film that could very well be a play. It has that feel. It that will have you examining the death penalty and its repercussions from all angles. It allows you to see the repressed and harried emotions behind the family members of the convicted, those of the young victim, and the diligence of the law officials who are trying their best to help Raymond. The big draw here is Jeff Fahey as Raymond, who goes through all the sensations of a man on death row, anxiously awaiting the phone call that may mean his stay of execution. The movie isn't one sided, it allows you to reflect on the position of either side, because in the end, there seemed to be no black and white answer and you are left to decide, is it legalized murder, or true justice for the crime committed?
