I believe this is your department.

NO, I'm still boycotting and have much more quality time with my boys since the "TV" is off. (They are loving all my attention as well). Life is great!! Hollywood, GO FLY A KITE!

Are you talking about the Redford-Gandolfini military prison flick? I don't think it's a HBO film, if that's the one you're talking about. It was released on the big screen in late 2001...great flick, though. I'm not normally a Redford fan, but he did a good job in it.

I watched it and bought a copy of the DVD for myself and my parents. I thought it was a very good movie. I didn't see a lot of publicity for it when it was released.

It seemed utterly preposterous to me.

it was ok.

I'm sorry but I've been boycotting HBO for quite a while now. I got tired of helping to fund their left-wing propaganda masquerading as reality-based TV movies.

If you want a much better movie, then try this one....

It's an Australian flick about a simple homeowner fighting to keep the government from tearing down his house to make room for a new airport runway.

Gotta say I hated it. Redford's sanctimony makes me gag.

Didn't see the movies, be I saw trailers, read reviews, and they made me want to puke. Noble, misunderstood general (redford) takes on eveil corrupt officer running a prison, stages revolt on behalf of misunderstood prisoners, fight for our constitutional rights or some such.

Granted, this may be an inaccurate summary. If in fact Reford revolted because the guards were slack in enforcing discipline among the Schiesse bird prisoners, I might see it.

I didn't like it. Maybe it is because I spent over 5 years working as an Army Correctional Officer at the "REAL" Last Castle at Fort Leavenworth, KS. Quite frankly, I am suprised Robert Redford would accept a movie role in this "B" movie. They just recycled old prison movie plots and added the army. To accept this movie you have to believe that all those killers, rapists and drug dealers are really just soldiers at heart who need a leader. Add in the required excessively brutal guards, the stereotypical warden, and enough procedure and technical screw ups that even a novice C/O would not commit and they you have it. Throw in some explosions and you have got yourself one hollywood movie. I would be willing to send a picture of the "Last Castle" but I do not know how to add pictures to this reply.

Nothing clever or original in the story line of this movie. The lame plot devices anoyed me but they were mostly at the end.

I love the movies and can't quit just because Hollywood is populated by bleeding hearts. Redford and Gandolfini are always worth watching.

This movie was well acted, directed and filmed. Worth a look.
