Not what I expected

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2001)

I have to say that I held off a long time to watch this movie, because in spite of all the hype and good reviews, I expected it to be just another "prison movie". But we finally sat down to watch, with the understanding that we were shutting it off at the first indication of a prison rape scene. Surprise! There weren't any! The characters were interesting, realistic, and I got attached to them. It was a great story!
