Monster's Ball is a hard hitting Southern drama tempered by a story of powerful, life-changing love. It is the story of Hank (Billy Bob Thornton), an embittered prison guard working on Death Row who begins an unlikely, but emotionally charged affair with Leticia (Halle Berry), the wife of a man he has just executed. Monster's Ball also features Heath Ledger and Peter Boyle. Boyle plays Hank's bigoted, aging father, whose hatred seems to have poisoned his entire family as much as the family business, which is working on the prison Death Squad. Ledger plays Hank's son, who is hell-bent on getting out of the family business. The film is directed by award-winning filmmaker Marc Forster. He was

This film is amazing!! Everything about it is right! The actors are brilliant and the storyline is just supreb!! And you defo cant forget Halle Berry in a hurry!! Her performance in this was wind blowing and she defo deserved her Oscar!!! An amazing film with a meaning!! Worth £6.99 i say!! Buy it!!
When I first saw this film when it first came out over here at the cinema, I was drawn to Halle Berry's mesmerizing performance of Leticia Musgrove who ends up alone after the deaths of her husband and son. Her husband at the hands of the electric chair after serving 11 years on death row and her son in a hit and run.
She falls in love with Hank Grotowski who used to be a prison warden at the prison where her husband was executed in the electric chair. She's unaware of this until she goes through her husband's drawings but by then its too late.
A powerful drama orchestrated with great skill by Marc Forster and showcasing Halle Berry in the best role of her career. Halle Berry's performance is a tour de force and deserved the Best Actress statuette at the Oscars.
I was very impressed with the concept and irony of this film, as such, two people from different races are brought together through the fact they have awful lives, with a fantastic cast, both Billy Bob Thornton and Halle Berry were brilliant, small yet important part for Ledger which for me was his first impressive role, Brilliant film, wirth a watch.
Pure brilliance, this movie is up there with the best.
Perfect cast, great plot and a halle berry is sensational.
Halle berry and billy bob thornton give career best performances in this film.Buy this and you wont be disappointed.
