LAST CASTLE, THE(2001)
I'm not a war or prison movie guy! While this is one of
those, fortunately it has Robert Redford! Unfortunately,
it's still a prison movie, and I had to work at finishing
it! C+
From IMDb.com:
Prison movies can get a little depressing for me after
awhile, but this is one of the best I've seen because
the two lead actors, Robert Redford and James Gandolfini,
are fascinating. I also liked this because the characters
were a bit softer than in most prison movies, the language
more tolerable and the story kept my rapt attention for
the two-plus hours.
The only fault I can find with it is the normal credibility
where people should have been shot but all the bullets miss,
of course. That happens mainly to Mark Ruffalo's character.
Also, I was surprised at Delroy Lindo being listed pretty
high in the credits but he had very little screen time.
Overall, thanks to the acting this is a solid film and
recommended. - ccthemovieman-1
