Spectacular..

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2011)

And I thought that movies of person's wrongly accused of crimes could not be better than Shawshank Redemption.
I was wrong... partly so. ITNOTFather is in no way inferior to any other prison movie, or any movie for that matter.
The story is well constructed and paced, never slackening,the acting is superlative (At least 3 performances being Oscar worthy, not winning being a comment on the quality of competition that year), taut soundtrack, great supporting cast, and palpable human emotions which grow over the course of the movie.
To know that this is based on real events does cast a gloom and you cant help but feel the desperation and rage of the characters.
Overall, a brilliant movie, deserving every accolade that it got and then some. Not to be missed; I happened to watch this movie nearly 2 decades after its release, entirely my loss.
