06/28/2013 does not take it far enough. See more 01/26/2010 This film has a great story line it is so emotional i cry every time i watch it lol See more 10/10/2009 Strong cast, good movie! See more 07/04/2008 Kiefer Sutherlands prison reform flick about a man (Sutherland) who has been locked up since he was 16 and is now awaiting execution, who befriends a rookie prison guard (Forest Whitaker). Good but not great. See more 06/26/2008 i thought kiefer sutherland was really good (he's so good at being creepy), and his chemistry with forest whitaker was really good. i also really liked the music. See more 02/09/2008 Kiefer's directoral debut is amazingly done along with his acting and Forrest Whitaker's costarring. See more Read all reviews
