               First of all, this movie is so long which is 3 hours. However, this movie has great value to see over 3 hours. In addition, after I watched this movie, I really think about the death penalty and a false charge. I guess that there are many people who died from the death penalty by a false charge, and also I think about advantage and dis advantage about the death penalty. In this movie, unfortunately, Coffey was died by a false charge. Although directer of this movie said that this movie is a fantasy film about super power, but I don't think so. Because I felt Paul's sorrow about Coffey's death, I get a feeling of depress after watched this movie. However, it is very thoughtful and interesting movie.
