Leave your thoughts about The Life of David Gale.
| Entertainment TodayBrent SimonA half-baked polemic wrapped around a procedural thriller, The Life of David Gale is meticulously researched fury delivered in bite-size chocolates of liberal indignation. |
| JunkeeGlenn Dunks...one of the most offensively cheap and concocted 'twist' endings of all time |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxThere are few things more depressing than a bad film about an important subject. The Life of David Gale takes it one step further: it's a silly, ludicrous, utterly laughable film about a very important subject. |
| Eclipse MagazineSean O'ConnellMakes simple sense while you're watching it, but can not hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny after its ballyhooed "twist" is revealed. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Manages to offend the same people it seeks to defend with the most ridiculous and nonsensical endings that I've ever seen. |
| Movie MomNell MinowSomewhere between potboiler and polemic, this overripe melodrama signals every one of its plot twists as hamhandedly as it bangs out its message. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelDuane DudekFails both as advocacy and entertainment. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe picture is neither flawless nor foolproof, but it's smart and tight enough to keep audiences off-balance and entertained for the running length. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongNot a great film, and it's doubtful its 'surprise' endings will surprise many people, but it manages to be both smoothly entertaining and engaging while carrying a strong point of view. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickTries to give you two films for the price of one. Unfortunately, it does neither very well. |
