Clint Eastwood is real genius. Well, I can't say True Crime was my favorite Eastwood's film in the 90's. I love In the Line of Fire, The Rookie and Absolute Power the most but this film was very touching. Clint never disappoints me. He makes Real movies. Other actors/actresses did a great job too
Its a shame the movie wasnt the same as the book, book was more exciting and kept you on edge and in the book Frank was white so the original story has nothing to do with discrimination.
LOVE this movie....tear jerker for sure! especially when he has to make his wife and kid leave before the execution and when the warden yanks the iv out and his wife is frantically beating on the window. and of course you gotta love clint eastwood throughout the movie....four thumbs up!!!!
i don't hate the death penalty.because would you want killers on the street? and a guy got the death penalty for killing my friend. he deserved it >:)
@Lazyguy22 - I wouldn't exactly call the Miller's Tale "respectable" More so than "The Ancrene Wisse"or "Piers Plowman" or "Gawain and the Green Knight" ?
Or going back further,"Caedmon's Hymn" or "Beowulf" ?
@Lazyguy22 -"The man solely responsible for the creation of the English language as a respectable language " and you call that the contemporary view,do you? Not posturing?
first injection is a anesthetic to knock you out but sadly its true he would not servive they give it to you in a lethel 2.5 gram dose the 2ed drug paralyze the muscle's including those that control breathing the 3rd stops the heart
I didn't think the Sodium Thiopental was a lethal dose... they've found instances where there wasn't even a large enough concentration of the drug in the inmate's blood to keep them unconscious as the other two drugs took effect.
just trying to finish up my comment and final thoughts on this great movie with the end song "what more could i have done?"------what more can u do than save a man's life?? i mean, that's pretty good,isn't it? shd take him out for lobster thermidor with all the trimmings any day of the week even on on short notice. even if he had to wash dishes.
what does it matter which injection shd have kiiled him and which one was supposed to tranquile him and which one was supposed to give him a heart attack , etc?? what difference does it make?? this was an excellenet movie with about as heartfelt and gut wrenching and as dramatic ending as u could possibly have asked for. esp the moment when the ex-con wasves hello & thx 4 saving my life to clint in the shopping mall. ld i have done,INDEEDDwhats amuto
The second dose paralyzez the body and sometimes, they do strangle you, but it happens rarely. It usually just paralyzes every single muscle. It's the third that will kill you. The third makes your heart stop beating.
Wrong. The first drug only knocks him out as it is an anesthetic that puts him in such a deep sleep that it frees him from pain. If he was kept like that for such a long period, he would have been dead but they revived him at the hospital. The second drug which he didn't get enough of to cause an effect paralyzes his muscles (which includes his lungs) to stop him from breathing. The third drug gives him a heart attack.
That´s a very nice movie. Death Penalty IS one of the true crimes. The question "Was there something more I could have done?" (sung in the end), labelled this topic as no other phrase!
I saw this film today and this I love it..... great story and epic end.. :-)

Did they yank out both IVs or just the one in his right arm? Because the second drug was going into his left arm.

If you noticed, this isn't the San Quentin Death Chamber because A) It's Candy-Apple Green and B) They don't use a lethal injection machine.

In reality the first two doses of chemical are of a lethal amount, so there's very little chance that man could have survived that.

@Goldenrod636 Yes, you're right, but the inmate gets three times larger dose of the drug than the patient in hospital. It is lethal anyway.
