I’m not really fond of evaluating films based on political questions, religious beliefs or social values so with Into the Abyss my review will be short and sweet. The film puts the capital punishment question of shall we put a murderer to death even if we know he did the killing? What gets left out of the film however is the alternative; shall we torture the person the rest of his life by keeping him alive in a prison cell? Although Director Werner Herzog claims the film is not about the death penalty, he lets his audience be the judge.
