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. | |

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. | Comedy: 4 Sex Appeal: 2 Scary: 3 Rewatch: 6 |
