I enjoyed this movie even though this wouldn’t have been a movie I would have watched in the theater
Saw this movie as one of those Mystery movies where you don’t know what you’re seeing until you get there.
I had a couple tear jerking moments and realizing half the cast was the actual prison theater crew is impressive
I was almost going to walk out when I found out it was Sing Sing but the movie grabbed my attention and kept me in my seat until the end.
