Three big names and three Oscar nominations: Tim Robbins for "Best Director," Sean Penn for "Best Actor" and Susan Sarandon's only win out of 5 nominations over her career for "Best Actress." This film also earned Springsteen a nomination for his original son, "Dead Man Walking." His win came back in 1993 for "Philadelphia."

A great way to start the day lol

If there is a movie w Sean Penn I'm so there..he is the DeNiro of my generation

A lot better than expected, it will challenge you no matter whether you're for or against capital punishment.

Id watch a commercial. As. Long as Sean Penn was in it!!!

I had completely forgotten Jack Black plays Penn's brother in this film....

i like this movie, it's kind of sad what he go's through. don't get me wrong, he desevers this for what he did. but he does's seem like he has remores at the end...

haven't seen this in a while - time to jump into the vault - have to admit i don't remember much - but i remember sean penn being excellent... let's go!

i wanted to watch this ever since it came out and i finally did. Susan is just a lovely actor- very realistic and Sean has matured oh so much over the years- i swear he gets better and better. A sad... more

i wanted to watch this ever since it came out and i finally did. Susan is just a lovely actor- very realistic and Sean has matured oh so much over the years- i swear he gets better and better. A sad story of how 1 wrong step in misguided youth leads to endless pain.

watched this yesterday. very sad and depressing but still good movie with amazing cast. Susan and Sean especially.

Stayed up til 2am watching this last. Very good movie

The ending always gets to me. Being humane to someone that does something inhumane is extraordinary.

Sean Penn always amazes me.

I SO love this movie!! Great acting, directing, and a great script!! 💗💗💗

Haven't seen this it came out. Sean Penn is one of my all time favs... so I'm indulging.

"In St. James Parish
I was born and christened." -- Bruce Springsteen "Dead Man Walking" So was I.

o melhor filme do sean penn! no finalzinho, mas sempre vale a pena!

It probably isn't for everyone. Great performances!

The last few minutes of Sean Penn's character's life are really haunting.

Such a good movie. Makes me cry every time though.

Why haven't I watched this sooner?! Nusrat on the soundtrack?!!!

Never seen this movie before.

Tim Robbins is in da house.

I can't believe I've never seen this before. Oh that's right, not a huge Sean Penn fan. I've never seen "Mystic River" or "I Am Sam" either.

I just watched it again the other night. I had forgotten how powerful this film is....I cried and crieed

Old Classic. Never seen it.

This movie always make me cry..SS and SP, the whole cast are great!

Thanks a lot my friends, another Guruship obtained because of the strong supports you've been giving me = )
