Well, it definately leans left concerning the death penalty. It also portrays death penalty supporting Texans as rubes. That being said, it was still an excellent film. Both Kevin Spacey and Kate Winslet (Titanic) were in top form. Then ending blew me away. No loose ends were left unanswered.
I usually buy films on DVD but I rented that one. I'll definately buy it at a later date.
