Great story except for one thing

Rating: 7/10 (7 August 2017)

This would've gotten an 8 if it hadn't been for the warden's refusal to let John go upstairs to his wife. The warden explained earlier in the movie that she has a tumor in her head and is going to die; it's inevitable, barring some sort of miracle. Particularly when they bring big John over, all we hear from her up there in bed in pain and agony. She's in HELL. Therefor, it shouldn't matter to him WHAT John's planning to with/to her. Even if he wasn't there to help but do harm, what more pain could he possibly inflict her with? Even if he was there to KILL, he should submissively let him by because John's guess as to what to do with her would be as good as anyone else's and death would certainly end her misery. When the warden tells him, "Don't you do it!" I chuckled, "Why not? You're wife's in Hell, dude, with no doctoral hope of getting better. I of course know he's going to help her but even I didn't, go for it."
