Great story, not a bad movie either.

The bit with Tommy exonerating Andy was one of the few parts of the movie I did not like.

I wish they had left it ambiguous.

Yeah, in the book I think it was a little more ambiguous with Andy hoping Tommy's story was about him even though the details were a little off.


Reminds me of the Robert Redford movie version of The Castle in which he is the hero all the way through, while in the story there is a fundamental shift wherein the warden (Gandolfini's character) turns out to be a good guy with a tough job and Redford's character turns out to be a power-mad bully. But Redford wouldn't dream of being in a role like that, so re-write, baby!

Actually I kind of like the dedication of Kevin Spacey in Se7en. The way he kept the dude alive for 1 year was pretty neat. Also the character in Law Abiding Citizen, although I wish he'd lived.

I LOVED the book. Fantastic story all around. One of those stories that makes you wish you had thought of it because it's so great.

Sean Penn handled prison rapists better in Bad Boys
