cuz how do you spoil something that is already wretched and awful and rotten
couple of points that made me feel anger...
1. I don't care how poorly the warden treats the inmates. This is a prison. For a film to try and portray a prison uprising as heroic and wonderful is annoying to me. I actually hate Robby Redford now.
The ending should have been the death of all those involved in taking over the prison.
2. Bullshit they could have orchestrated the battle like that. Who wouldn't have noticed inmates building a giant catapult or burying battle gear in a pile of rocks? That's not just supsension of disbelief... it's insulting and ridiculous.
i so hate that movie.
