Into the Abyss (2011)

Director: Werner Herzog
Writer:    Werner Herzog
Conversations with death row inmate Michael Perry and those affected by his crime serve as an examination of why people and the state-kill.

Werner Herzog is against capital punishment and he argues his case without portraying the death row inmate as a victim or giving any blatant  justification for his actions. Reminded me of the film 'A short film about killing', whose only drawback is that its murder victim is shown as unsavory.

Rating: 4/5
