Shot in the Heart

Aroview: Interesting slant on the Gary Gilmore case – an infamous US murderer and subject of a Norman Mailer book –this sets Gilmore (Koteas) against his brother (Ribisi) who’s visiting him on death-row to make his peace, but is slowly being drawn into witnessing the execution. A n atmospheric journey into a particularly American family psychosis – a mixture of Mormon superstition, sexual guilt and frontier violence. Based on Mikal Gilmore’s memoir.
