    Actor did a great job of portraying a frightened man faced with his own imminent death, his thoughts disjointed and all over the place. Brilliant movie.

      Expect he portrayed a botched hanging. The knot breaks your neck and the noose in the movie was made correctly so that prolonged death wouldn't have happened. His neck would have snapped and it would have been instant lights out. If you want to see what a real hanging looks like, go watch the hanging of Saddam Hussein. You will see as soon as they drop they are dead. The way he died in the movie is what would have happened if they didn't make a noose and just tied a rope around his neck. But other then that, your right. His acting was phenomenal

      The real execution took 11 minutes for him to die. His knees gave way and he began to collapse as the executioner pulled the lever to open the doors on the floor. This caused all slack of the rope to be removed and the fall to be too short to cause a break in his neck.

    "In the end, Northcott’s bravado failed him. On October 2, 1930, he was led to the gibbet, whimpering and blindfolded because he said he could not stand to view the gallows. He collapsed as he was taken from the death cell and had to be supported by two guards.

    His final words as the black hood and noose were put over his head were “don’t, don’t.”

    The last bit of poetic justice came right before the executioner pulled the trap lever. Northcott’s legs gave way and he began to collapse just as the trap sprang. His collapse took the slack out of the rope, and as a result his fall was too short to snap his neck.

    It took him 11 minutes to strangle to death."

    It was chilling when he began singing "Silent Night," particularly because the last words he sings are "mother and child" just as the trap-door opens and he falls through to his death. This is significant, because the entire movie was about a mother's search for her missing child, who may have been a victim of this man.

    Hanging is still the best and cheapest means of execution.
    All you need is a strong anchor-point over a thirty foot drop, twenty feet of good rope and two strong elastic bands.
    The anchor-point, and rope,which is inexpensive, can be used multiple times and the elastic bands can be washed if necessary.
    The rubber bands of course go around the hems of the executionees' pants to keep their crap in their pants in case they vacate their bowels. This reduces the unpleasantnes,s cost, and effort of cleaning up the floor.
    Most errors in hangings have been due to insufficient dropping distance.

      This is a similar case to a hanging that happened in yemen 2003. A little 17 year old girl called Habiba Ibrahim who was convicted of killing a high ranking officer who attempted to rape her. She sentenced hang by her neck until dead. On her execution day, she begged the guards to show her mercy. The guards dragged her from her cell to the gibbet. She was screaming and crying as the guards pushed her up to the noose. It was not clear what her last words were, but it was said as the hood was placed on her head she uttered "Please don't hang me!". When the noose was tied round her neck, she reportedly began singing the Yemeni national anthem, she thought she could save her neck. But her last ditch attempt had failed, she was dropped at 1:05 pm. It was reported the noose was too short and the was only 2 feet. As a result the execution was severely bungled as Habiba struggled against the rope gasping for air. She kicked and writhed in pain for a whole 14 minutes when she finally expired on 1:15 pm. This goes to show how bad dictatorships are.

There are many cases of the execution being rescheduled because the prisoners neck did not snap and it had to be redone.

    The death penalty is barbaric, ineffective as a deterrent and irreversible in the case of mistakes. It exists to indulge the public desire for vengeance . and sends out the message that two wrongs make a right. No country which considers itself civilised should impose it. The mark of a civilised society is one which doesn’t use inhuman and degrading punishments. The justice system shouldn’t be using the same methods as a murderer.

      Did your parents use this movie to teach you not to talk to stangers? If so, they succeeded.

    My mom show me this movie such a long time ago and I've been trying to find it ever since, it's been like 3 years and I finally found it. I can believe how sad this is.
