The best part of this movie is the love story between Lucy and Mercy, not the least because of the amazing chemistry between Ellen Page and Kate Mara. The rest of the story falls horribly flat. I didn't buy into the anti or pro-death penalty angle, I was unmoved by the constant references to the executions that mark the various scenes. I also had no feeling about the other plot, the execution of Lucy, Martha, and Ben's father Simon.I have a feeling most of this movie was left on the cutting room floor.
This movie was predictable.They could have put Ellen and Kate into any scenario and it would have worked. All in all, I can't deny the fact that Ellen and Kate are amazing actresses. Their love story is the only thing that was good in this movie. For that alone its worth watching at least once.
