1 corrected entry
Directed by: Marc Forster
Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Gabrielle Witcher, Halle Berry, Heath Ledger, Taylor Simpson
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of film, Peter Boyle's character opens a newspaper, and on the front page is a story about a death row inmate who is scheduled to die "tonight." However, he does not die "tonight," but rather the following night. On the evening of the day on which the erroneous newspaper headline appears, the prison guards gather at a local bar. The next day, the prisoner is taken to a special cell to await his execution, which occurs TWO nights after the newspaper headline said he was to be executed. (00:08:15)
Hank Grotowski: I went by our station on the way home... I like that sign. I think we're gonna be all right.
Trivia: For her role in the film, Halle Berry became the first black actress (even though she is actually bi-racial, as her mother is white) to win an Oscar for "Best Actress."
Question: What was with him vomiting throughout the movie? Did it mean something?
Chosen answer: Hank is a deputy warden in a Georgia state prison.He oversees the executions of condemned prisoners, and before each one he is literally sickened by having to perform this duty.
No - he threw up after sex with Berry which is well after he quit. He threw up after drinking heavily the night before.

Correction: Halle is wearing a necklace. From one angle this necklace looks a bit like a white strap, bit it isn't. Halle's bra is hidden under her gown throughout the whole scene.
