Unrealistic, I'll tell you why!!!

Rating: 6/10 (11 February 2004)

Spoiler!! How can an overglorified view of prison be so widely accepted. I thought we as a movie going audience had got over the romance of films such as escape from alcatraz. Its the same film. Shy white guy befriends black guy. White guy escapes. Black guy is happy. Everyone who voted high for this should watch Animal Factory by Steve Buscemi. It isnt a great film but it offers a far more powerful realistic look into penitentiary life than Shawshank. kev
