This is a brilliant film because it shows what it was like how hard it was it can be to spend in prison and try to escape. I like how it has been filmed and the way that the characters are being portrayed throughout the whole film especially the two main characters. The genres covered most in this film are: Crime, Drama and Biography. Overall, it shows prison life very well and the friendship between the two main characters is captured well.
