Possible spoilers ahead.
I don't think this movie was a political stance at all. How can it be, when the "liberal" anti-death-penalty group portrayed is just a bunch of fanatics? Yes, it showed their point of view and did not show the pro-death-penalty point of view, but since they are discredited by the end as, basically, lunatics... the movie is NOT taking their side. It is not taking any side - it's just your basic mystery/thriller/law drama.
The movie plot has a lot of holes to me - the biggest being what's the point of the whole interview process anyway? The tape was already in existence and could have been released by anyone. So why play with the reporter?
I wanted to like this movie, but just couldn't.
