One of the best movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2014)

If you're in the mood for a good movie based on a true story that takes place during a seemingly simpler time and played by really great actors, then this movie is a good choice. A man wrongly accused of murdering his wife is sent to prison where he meets his new life long best friend, Red. It is the type of movie that pulls you in close so that you can't help but to like these "criminals". It's not often that any movie good or bad has a good ending. This movie has a very good ending and leaves you with the answers you were looking for. You laugh, cry (or at least feel like you might),get mad and cheer for the good guys and the mild mannered sarcasm. A man who never should have been in prison in the first place ended up making it a much better place, exposed tax scam, educated others, provided tax advice, made life long friends, developed allies and THEN receives his redemption. It's a battle of wits, showing of strength and endurance of pain (emotional & physical) throughout the movie. I have never met anyone who hasn't absolutely loved this movie.
