★★★★ · Brady Rap · Spuzz · 2013-03-25
A little bit of an underrated gem here. Playboy gets thrown in prison because he was in the car 4 thieves were in when they were caught. While trying to beat this rap, Playboy Brady toughens up and gains friends, the wrong ones. People, including the new warden want him to be a good prisoner example! This goes along in a great pace. The one problem I have is that this should have ended when it had one, but then it kept going and seemed to fizzle out with a fuzzy wuzzy ending because Everyone Has A Heart. But still worth a watch.
★★★★ · I was framed! · uniQ · 2011-04-21
Reckless socialite Gray gets framed by a gang of toughs in a rather implausible way. He gets sent to prison (With ear-achingly strident music). Since no one believes his (true) story he turns mean under the evil warden. The evil warden gets axed and a former guard gets appointed to the post. He then tries to become more friendly to the inmates, but Gray and his cellmate block him! Can he reform Gray?
★★★ · You can't blame society for being touchy · jimelena · 2007-06-13
But you can blame this movie for a lot of evils in the film industry.
