    I know is This British remake of 1974's "The Longest Yard" is set in a rough-and-tumble British prison. BUT independent of it is an excellent performance, great humour, nice picture, music goes right to the action on film, every detail is there. I think even it is and adaptation it is a much better version. New times are sometimes better. I love the movie, I laugh and laugh.

    A great movie, it is not the tipical yankee film where convicts are martyrs. It's just a funny film.

    The climatic sports match offers a few laughs, until then though its pretty painful formula.

    English remake of the 1970's Burt Reynolds American football romp. Former England captain, off the rails, gets arrested for drink driving, assault, etc then ends up in prison with several unsavoury characters. He then gets together a team of inmates to play against the guards. It's ok in parts, Jones plays himself, Statham is ok until he speaks & it's all a bit bland. David Kelly & Danny Dyer are good though & the music isn't too bad.… Expand

    Sports movies are never easy to pull off, but Skolnick does a fine job of balancing the drama with the on-field action.

    Mean Machine may not have the resonance to linger in the memory affectionately as "The Longest Yard" does, but it plays well, with a fast pace and plenty of punch.

    After too many ''Full Monty''s, it has come to look like nothing so much as a coy ritual of emasculation.
