Richie-67-485852 Riveting entertainment of someone accused of a crime that they didn't commit and how the system can be tainted or shuffled against you on a whim. The shocking part is there is nothing you can do about it. I suppose that is why it takes 13 years to execute someone in this country too. We want to be sure before we take a life. Good story, acting and plausible more times than not. The characters draw you in and you either hate them or root for them, but sitting still is not an option with your emotions in full play. This movie activates the emotions. There are plot holes, but we trade them for the raw adventure to be found in watching the movie and joining the characters. There are 4 movies that depict life in prison accurately. 1. American Me 2. Blood In Blood Out 3. The Glass House and this one. If you want to scare someone straight, there is the line-up to remind them to behave them selves now or fight for your life later. This movie also reminds us of how power and money can rule and how we end up serving those things. Then, they finish us off all the worst for it. Catch this movie without interruptions, have a snack ready, and be entertained. I did a bowl of home made double roasted sunflower seeds. I recommend this over biting your nails or smoking to relieve the tension found in this movie at times...Bon Voyage

MARVMOOCOW This little under rated gem is a great flick.Witness the transformation of Tom Selleck from all round nice guy to bad ass dude as his life is turned upside down by two corrupt cops who make a mistake on a bust. This is a very enjoyable flick and well worth a look its definitely one of Sellecks better films and seriously deserved better treatment at the cinemas than what it did.If you've got nothing better to do on a rainy afternoon then this is highly recommended viewing,its not "The Shawshank Redemption",which is my favourite jail film,or even "The Green Mile" but it is still a great little film and a great time filler.Sometimes I wonder what Sellecks career would've been like had he of made a little film called "Raiders of The Lost Ark" perhaps his film career would've gone through the roof,he definitely deserves a better film career than what he had.

Nazi_Fighter_David The film opens with sequences conceived to present Selleck as a loving husband and a devoted airlines maintenance supervisor… His name is Jimmie Rainwood… One night, a couple of crooked narcotics cops break down Rainwood's peaceful door...Jimmy—who had just taken a shower—comes out with a hair dryer in his hand… He is shot twice by the anti-drugs cops who have caught a shadow of what looks like a gun… So to justify their error, they concocted an entire fairy tale planting drugs in Jimmy's home and a gun in his hand…Rainwood ends up in jail…Luckily, he is befriended by Virgil Cane, played by F. Murray Abraham… Cane was the character to keep your eye on… He is a 'schemer and a charmer.' Virgil disagrees with Jimmy's sensitiveness as a straight man… This is an 'insane place with insane rules' that tests the human consciousness, yet survival will never be the same without some sort of sacrifice… A group of degenerate prisoners make life unbearable for Jimmy until he learns how to really fight back…The film had its fair share of bloody moments and did not shy away from the nasty things that go on in men's prisons

tugito It was a film about life..about circumstances that we never imagine that could happen but it happens all the time around us.. While I was watching that film I just wanted to kick something,my nerves where full of anger just because it gets too deep in the main character and it makes you feel you are him. It's surely one of the best films about corruption and it has a very strong ending. It is not a happy film, it's a hit to the bone film. take it or leave it. I cannot categorize it into something like society film or thriller, it is a life film I should say better and it is brilliant. Its one of those films that you always remember from the 90's as the one film that you didn't think it would be good but finally changed your whole month...
