Sometimes, the so-called normal people in this world are just prisoners who have not yet been in prison.

A personal favorite movie.

Although the ending is bound to have no surprises, the details in it reflect the grotesqueness and inaccuracies of the reality drama itself.

For example: the warden who manages a group of prisoners is himself a gambler and a criminal; including the prison guard, he does not have a healthier mind than the prisoners.

Although the living environment in the prison is harsh, everyone still has a lot of respect for those who dare to uphold justice;

In the movie, prisoners who have no humanity in prisons have their human side; no matter how cunning the prisoners are, they also have sympathy and pity.

I have to say that at the end of the film, the director established Wharton as a man of justice, which is probably one of the most comforting things in the whole film. What I am particularly worried about is that Wharton also went all the way with the warden. Next, this prison is estimated to have to be cleaned up...

All in all, a film full of laughter and tears, I recommend it to everyone.
