Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Steineded How sad is this?

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

gavin6942 Jimmie Rainwood was minding his own business when two corrupt police officers (getting an address wrong) burst into his house, expecting to find a major drug dealer. Rainwood is shot, and the officers frame him as a drug dealer.This is a very unconventional action film, with a good guy turned into a threat. I suppose that's not too strange, a man driven to the edge. But here we have a guy who goes from innocent to killer and beyond, making it his business to crush a pair of corrupt cops.While corrupt cops exist, this film goes out of its way to make the duo as sleazy and hated as possible. My goodness, I just felt rage in my soul about these two guys, so I have to give the actors credit for really coming across as jerks. Selleck was also great, though it was a shame he had to go from good to bad in order to make it through the story.

Richie-67-485852 Riveting entertainment of someone accused of a crime that they didn't commit and how the system can be tainted or shuffled against you on a whim. The shocking part is there is nothing you can do about it. I suppose that is why it takes 13 years to execute someone in this country too. We want to be sure before we take a life. Good story, acting and plausible more times than not. The characters draw you in and you either hate them or root for them, but sitting still is not an option with your emotions in full play. This movie activates the emotions. There are plot holes, but we trade them for the raw adventure to be found in watching the movie and joining the characters. There are 4 movies that depict life in prison accurately. 1. American Me 2. Blood In Blood Out 3. The Glass House and this one. If you want to scare someone straight, there is the line-up to remind them to behave them selves now or fight for your life later. This movie also reminds us of how power and money can rule and how we end up serving those things. Then, they finish us off all the worst for it. Catch this movie without interruptions, have a snack ready, and be entertained. I did a bowl of home made double roasted sunflower seeds. I recommend this over biting your nails or smoking to relieve the tension found in this movie at times...Bon Voyage

Nazi_Fighter_David The film opens with sequences conceived to present Selleck as a loving husband and a devoted airlines maintenance supervisor… His name is Jimmie Rainwood… One night, a couple of crooked narcotics cops break down Rainwood's peaceful door...Jimmy—who had just taken a shower—comes out with a hair dryer in his hand… He is shot twice by the anti-drugs cops who have caught a shadow of what looks like a gun… So to justify their error, they concocted an entire fairy tale planting drugs in Jimmy's home and a gun in his hand…Rainwood ends up in jail…Luckily, he is befriended by Virgil Cane, played by F. Murray Abraham… Cane was the character to keep your eye on… He is a 'schemer and a charmer.' Virgil disagrees with Jimmy's sensitiveness as a straight man… This is an 'insane place with insane rules' that tests the human consciousness, yet survival will never be the same without some sort of sacrifice… A group of degenerate prisoners make life unbearable for Jimmy until he learns how to really fight back…The film had its fair share of bloody moments and did not shy away from the nasty things that go on in men's prisons

cyclone259 I never cared for Magnum P.I. and I had no hand in the rental of this film when my friend brought it home from the video store for all of us to watch, so I didn't know what to expect. ***POSSIBLE SPOILERS***All-in-all not a bad 'payback' film, although nowhere near the league of 'The Shawshank Redemption'. Basically, it's the familiar story of a man who's wrongly accused of dealing drugs after a couple of crooked cops set him up when a drug bust goes awry. Of course, Selleck comes out the better man, toughened by prison life and seeks his revenge on the 'bad' cops. Not a bad story.... 6/10
