Maksim S @MaksimusMovies Nov 10, 2025 In this stark and piercing documentary, Herzog winds his way into a Texas triple‑homicide case and the lives it shattered. He interviews the convicted killers, the victims’ families, and even a former execution‑officer, all while refusing easy answers or sensationalism. Bleak, intimate and unflinching, it digs into the human cost of crime and punishment — compelling throughout and never dull.

The correctional officer in change of the actual executions, speaks with great impact. See more Aaron J @AarronJ81 Mar 29, 2024 Haunting. A good documentary about the death penalty and the folks left in the wake of a crime. See more Tanya @RT31727819 Sep 29, 2023 Excellent film that highlights for the millionth time how expensive in dollars killing people for justice is. Regardless of your moral stance, it doesn't reduce crime & 1/3 of that money could easily be spent doing things that actually make a difference. Give these white trash moms producing these losers some sex ed & birth control & access to abortion. Or headstart programming. Or an education that doesn't leave fully 1/2 the population illiterate. Only dictatorships & war criminals & the US kill their criminals. Wake up already AND why not save millions in the process?

As for making the crimes committed a point of interest or the lifestyles of those involved, this documentary was really underwhelming.
