Overrated

Rating: 1/10 (16 June 1999)

It's not a bad film. It's just derivative and melodramatic. It borrows from "Cool Hand Luke," a superior film. It relishes its significance too much. It's a bit smug. Morgan Freeman's voiceover is a clumsy narrative device. I don't know -- I just know for sure it's not one of "the best films of all time." Not even close.
