Monster's Ball

Acclaimed performances by Best Actress Oscar-winner Halle Berry, as the estranged wife of southern death row inmate Sean Combs, and Billy Bob Thornton as a racist prison guard working with son Heath Ledger, drive this powerful drama. In the aftermath of Combs' execution a pair of tragedies bring the emotionally drained Thornton and Berry together in a raw sexual encounter that offers each momentary solace and, perhaps, hope.
