Richardson,Jason Burkett,Jared Talbert,Amanda West,Delbert Burkett,Melyssa Thompson-Burkett,Fred Allen,Werner HerzogIn his fascinating exploration of a triple homicide case in Conroe, Texas, master filmmaker Werner Herzog probes the human psyche to explore why people kill-and why a state kills. In intimate conversations with those involved, including 28-year-old death row inmate Michael Perry (scheduled to die within eight days of appearing on-screen), Herzog achieves what he describes as "a gaze into the abyss of the human soul." Herzog's inquiries also extend to the families of the victims and perpetrators as well as a state executioner and pastor who've been with death row prisoners as they've taken their final breaths. As he's so often done before, Herzog's investigation unveils layers of humanity, making an enlightening trip out of ominous territory. -- (C) Official Site

New Review For Movie Into The Abyss
The result is gripping, moving and revelatory, an unabashed if implicit critique of the death penalty.
Ben Walters-Time Out Herzog is pursuing no agenda with Into the Abyss, despite his opposition to extreme judicial measures. He's seeking to answer the question of why people kill, especially in a situation such as this where the reason for the murders was so meaningless.
Peter Howell-Toronto Star Into the Abyss does what too few documentaries these days do - it gives ample play to all sides of the argument. Herzog allows us to think things through on our own.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor The overriding point of Into the Abyss, what keeps this sad, sorrowful film from becoming depressing and elevates it far above the usual chatter of liberal-conservative debate, is that there can be light on the other end of even the darkest of tunnels.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald "Into the Abyss" makes a strong case for the inhumanity of capital punishment, regardless of the crime or the criminal.
Calvin Wilson-St. Louis Post-Dispatch Herzog's investigation may not work as an anti-death-penalty editorial, but its findings are undeniably profound.
Peter Debruge-Variety Questions if the state has the right to murder.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews Herzog is empathetic and non-judgmental, even as his interview subjects try to rationalize their lives, declare their innocence and the like.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service This is humane, fascinating documentary filmmaking that is willing to confront insurmountable issues. And as is the case with most true crime material: truth is stranger than fiction.
Adam Ross-The Aristocrat It is also a devastating portrait of the culture of crime, drug and alcohol abuse, and broken families ...
Sean Axmaker-Seanax.com Herzog's engrossing examination of a real life triple murder demonstrates that evil doesn't reside only on death row.
Dan Lybarger-KC Active It is a film full of despair, but it's also compelling, and Herzog's interview with a death-row groupie towards the end of the film provides a horribly grim punchline.
-Scotsman Werner Herzog's documentary about a triple murder in Texas is a compelling reflection on capital punishment.
Philip French-Observer [UK] The honesty of the flesh, the absurdity of the sacred, the enduring equivalence of meaninglessness that all men share. Into the Abyss: a Tale of Death, a Tale of Life finds its foothold here.
Emily McMehen-Electric Sheep The film trawls the bottomless depth of hopeless criminals as much as it examines the "correctional" system.
Alex Zane-Sun Online Compulsive.
Mark Adams-Daily Mirror [UK] A powerful, poignant film.
Allan Hunter-Daily Express [Forces] viewers to face complex questions about society, justice and the sanctity of life.
Sloan Freer-Radio Times It's a decent film, though I felt that a clearer, sharper light could have been cast on the defendants themselves.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] The extensive use of lurid crime scene videos and subtitles set in a naff typewriter font sit uneasily with the director's opposition to capital punishment.
Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph When Tolstoy said all unhappy families are unhappy in their own ways, perhaps he was thinking of Texas. But even he reckoned without the rich, extraordinary complexities of unhappiness chronicled in Herzog's film.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times Moving and thought-provoking in equal measure. A Herzog doc of the highest order.
James Bramble-Little White Lies Offers a convincing and depressing critique of capital punishment in the US while somehow managing to find a glimmer of hope in what Herzog calls the urgency of life.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Less a polemic than a sombre sifting-through of the collateral damage that collects in concentric circles around an execution.
Bill Chambers-Film Freak Central Herzog's tapestry testifies to life's light from death's darkness.
