DEAD MAN WALKING (1995)

TIM ROBBINS

Plot

Powerful drama, based on a true story. Sarandon is superb as the nun whose work counselling Death Row killers brings her uncomfortably close to cold-hearted double murderer Matthew Poncelot (Penn), a man who shows no fear or remorse. Stirring stuff which avoids the usual Hollywood cliches.
