Unrealistic.

Rating: 7/10 (30 May 2016)

All I can say is that some people have to do their research. This film is absolutely backwards and does not reflect reality. It was clearly written by someone who has no idea how the prison system works.
The protagonist of this film, played drearily by the effortlessly dumb-founded Tim Robbins, is a white man. Not only this, many of his strangely old convict buddies are white. He is even raped by a white man who he attempts to deter with a mop; he's not a puddle Robbins, you bloody idiot!
What the filmmakers clearly don't understand is that in reality, all prisoners are black and I'm NOT being racist, these are just facts. It's not because they commit more crimes, it is purely white privilege gone mad as no-one will accept them into their prisons and it is truly saddening to see so much money spunked out on another film attempting to hide this institutionalised love of these creamy coloured pussies.
This is just another film in a long line of prison propaganda trying to brainwash us into thinking that white people commit crimes. Take Cool Hand Luke for example: as if anyone would convict Paul Newman. No! They'd be too busy trying to dive head first into his slacks to get a suckle of his lean member.
At least Morgan Freeman is in the film, an allusion to the reality that Frank Darabont will not recognise for fear of being ostracised by the White High Council.
Unfortunately, this is not enough to salvage this film and so I can only give it 2 stars out of 10. One for each true fact portrayed in the film. One, that there are black people in prisons and, two, that Tim Robbins would totally get raped in prison.
THIS IS ALL A JOKE. THANK YOU FOR READING.
