AnthonyS.Jul 30, 20019While dealing with a deft hand, often light hearted, this movie has profoundly important subtexts and themes that go to the heart of a free country's penal system.

StevenS.Sep 22, 20019We felt great while watching it, and were still feeling energized when thinking about it weeks latter. If you're human and looking for such an experience, this should be a 9+. Don't go expecting more, while there is a lot going on subtle & deep - especially through Clive Owen & Helen Mirren.

DonnaA.Mar 5, 20058I really liked this movie. Sure is was sappy. Sometimes sappy can be good. And lets face it. It is ever so nice to look at Clive Owen even in prison clothes.

40Watching this movie go through its simplistic dramatic motions, you begin to understand why some actors stick to summer stock and live Ibsen revivals.
