An extremely well-crafted and thought provoking documentary
Jan 29 2005
Format:DVD
Deadline is a remarkably good documentary. It is thought provoking and emotionally wrenching. Early on, I found myself drawn in, torn, going back and forth with each new argument for or against the death penalty. That's the mark of a well constructed doc. It shakes you up, makes you think, and ultimately re-examine what it is that you believe. As we age and change, we can outgrow some of our values without fully realizing it. Works like Deadline stimulate introspection and the clarification of one's deepest values by asking questions like, "What is the function of the State? The Courts? The Legal System as a whole? As a community, how do we define such things as mercy, compassion, forgiveness? What is Justice? And what is the value we give to human life?"
There seems to be a resurgence in documentaries in the last few years and Deadline shows just how powerful this genre of film making can be. Thanks for keeping the bar set so high. Enjoy.

Must see if you believe in justice
Jan 7 2006
Format:DVD
I watched this video as I am an actor presently performing in "The Exonerated," an award-winning play on the same topic. Before learning more about the topic, I was very naive in understanding how arbitrarily the death penalty is imposed in our country. Everyone who believes in justice and humanity should see this video and then decide for yourself what a citizen should do about the situation. It reveals what is wrong with our system and gives the real stories of those who are at work in our society to improve the criminal justice system.

DEADLINE - a fascinating and exquisitely crafted film
Dec 27 2004
Format:DVD
I saw the documentary DEADLINE at the Somerville Theatre as part of the Independent Film Festival of Boston and I was riveted throughout this film. This is such a well-crafted documentary and such an engaging story, not to mention a highly important one. Even though the death penalty is a heavy subject, this film manages to keep the mood from being depressing and the film has high entertainment value.
Listmania!
