| Pete B | 100 | - Stellar performances all around, a great story and superb music that ties it all together nicely. It's a timeless classic. |

| Sir M Hayes XIV | 100 | - Pacing. Story. Acting. I can't think of a flaw. Plus its a 3 hour movie that flies by, and does so without explosioins or car chases or special effects. |

| Rich Alejandro | 90 | - If it's on, I'm watching it. In an odd way, it's a true friendship story. |

| Bryan Lienesch | 89 | - It's a powerful tale about friendship, but the life-is-what-you-make-it story is heavily sugarcoated for a film that takes place primarily in a cruel prison. |
