I have read tons of people getting off watching this pile of random prison drama, and I cannot believe this is the highest rated movie on IMDb.

I never liked Morgan Freeman. Really. He always plays the wise man in movies, and that is quite unbearable. Not only it jails him (lol) to a specific, unrisky role as an actor, but it's also outrageously pretentious. Tim Robbins is OK I guess.

So you get to see some fishy business involving cigarettes and rocks for two hours, spiced by some five-year-old melancholic philosophy.

End of story, If you like prison drama, go watch The Green Mile.

I wasted two hours so you won't, you're welcome.
