Plot Summary: Set in the Southern United States, 'Monster's Ball' is a tale of a racist white man, Hank (played by Billy Bob Thornton), who falls in love with a black woman named Leticia (Halle Berry). Ironically Hank is a prison guard working on Death Row who executed Leticia's husband (Sean Combs). Hank and Leticia's interracial affair leads to confusion and new ideas for the two unlikely lovers.

Comments: First off, I would just like to say, that Billy Bob Thornton's performance in this film, was unbelievable.The film itself, impressed me to say the least. I thought the on screen chemistry between Leticia and Hank (Berry and Thornton) was electric, and the story never lacked emotion or depth. It touched upon life and love, forgiveness and hope, and makes compelling viewing for young and old.
