Nothing special

Rating: 4/10 (10 February 2004)

This is just a typical prison yarn with some mawkish sentiment
tossed in. I really don' t understand the fuss. I guess some people
look for grandeur and prjoect it onto middling, palatable material
like this. That's the only explanation I've got for the unwarranted
popularity of this flick. Production credits are fine enough, as is the
acting but it certainly doesn't belong on any repsectable list of
greatest films of all time.
