The only redemption in this movie was the scene with the guy crawling 4 football fields through shit. In other words this final twist redeemed an otherwise long and predictable movie. Ok well it wasn't the worst movie i have ever seen but lets get one thing clear before I dive into this list....There are good movies and great movies...there are bad movies, and there are movies so terrible that they are funny (like the Shaggs to music). But finally there are hollywood movies. It doesn't really matter if they are good or bad, the good ones are still crap compared to good and great movies (and sometimes even compared to the terribly funny ones). Hollywood tends to make movies that follow the same pattern and in the end are quite predictable...quite like the shawshank redemption.
Now don't get me wrong these movies can be very entertaining and if your girlfriend just broke up with you, I can almost guarantee you that the movie will end well and you wont have to worry about tears being triggered due to your unbalanced emotional state.
All in all this movie, as anticipated, entertained and ended happily. On the other hand if you have just had your purse stolen, morgan freemans voice does wonders to sooth you out of shock.
If you do feel the need to watch some grown men break out of prison I highly recommend scratching this film off the list and watching "Escape from Alcatraz".
