In 1996, Sharon Stone put a little grit into her glamorous image by playing a suspicious, snarling death row inmate caught up in the politics of the death penalty. Director Bruce Beresford tackled a similar drama in his uncompromising Breaker Morant, but here he's stuck with a script that favors the tepid story of her ne'er-do-well clemency lawyer (Rob Morrow), whose dormant conscience awakens as he champions her case. It's a well-meaning effort undercut by sentimentality (Beresford gives in to the impulse to find the sweet puppy dog behind Stone's feral street-mutt exterior) and the bad luck to come after the similarly themed but superior Dead Man Walking. Give Stone credit for the passion and conviction to make you care anyway. --Sean Axmaker

Rating:  - It Was Done Better Elsewhere.
Trying to save a convicted person from execution as time runs out is an inherently dramatic situation, and that is the basic plot of this film. However, having previously seen "I Want To Live" with Susan Hayward's academy award winning performance as convicted murderess Barbara Graham, and "Dead Man Walking," with Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn, I found this film's plot to be a predictable rehash of these others. Even the dramatic last minute reprieve of Sharon Stone before her final execution ... Read More
