A Letter from Death Row Reviews: Not worth the money  2009-05-15 - Letter from Death Row is a very low class film that is not worth the time it takes to put it in the DVD player. I am a huge fan of Bret Michaels, but this movie is not good at all.
God Bless Bret's Greedy Little Soul and Washboard Abs  2008-02-23 - As a long time Poison fan, this two-star rating pains me. Especially since one of the stars is for the amount of time Bret spent with his shirt off. Very nice. Anyway, the other star is for the somewhat interesting story. With the amount of time it took Bret to finish this movie (I remember hearing about it back in the late 80's), you'd think he would have done a minimal amount of legal research? A lot of this is just poorly researched nonsense. Like a story written by a kid in junior high who has no access to books or the internet, and just imagines what it must be like to be on death row. The movie attempts a Big Twist! at the end, but really didn't make any sense. I managed to watch it all the way through, so I guess it wasn't that bad. Except for the Sheens, the acting is just as bad as you suspect.

A Letter From Death Row  2007-03-08 - Oh My God! This movie was so incredible. Bret Michaels is not only a great singer but a great actor too. This definately could have been based on a true story and the twist at the end. Brilliant! I just can't say enough good things about it.
Bad, but you might just find it so bad it is good  2006-07-22 - This movie is universally mocked. I own the soundtrack and it is pretty darn bad, but I had to see the movie for myself. Other universally accepted facts are that Bret Michaels is hot, Poison made some great music in the 1980's, and their music videos were darn good and the DVD collection of them sells well to their fan base even a full two decades later.
Bret should stick to his talents at over-the-top rock music and music videos. This movie is shot like a music video, circa 1988, with weird effects and fades that are inappropriate for a drama. As a rock star Bret is a good guy with a bad boy image, and he tries to pull that off with the main character in this movie as a petty criminal who is framed for murder. It's laughable how he tries to tip toe the good guy/criminal line, and he fails at being either. There's a massive conspiracy twist and Bret's character is not just fighting for his own life, but justice for the entire community at the hand of corrupt politicians.
The acting is bad, the plot is predictably bad, the soundtrack is rotten, and Bret's own hero worship for himself is shameless. You know what? For any Poison fan, this crosses the line from bad to so-bad-its-good. Don't waste your money on it, but rent it for a single viewing.
