Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The story is straight simple.no mystery.but the way they begin the movie,you would expect something unexpected would be unravelled but to my disappointment it is not.could not know the who was playing the protagonist.i thought story would focus on one character but gradually shifted to another.not good enough.

I just saw this movie and was bored beyond believe.The story is without any depth. A boy gets accidentally shot, even the involved drug dealers do not know how that happened. They get some years in prison for the drugs.The father of the dead boy is left behind, his wife has died too some time ago. All he got is his revenge. So he beats up a cop to get into jail to say hello to the two "muderers" of his son.The movie did not show the motivation of the characters. You see the father drinking alcohol, but you do not feel his pain. The idea of following the guys into jail is so absurd, that it leads to my low rating. To build a complicated weapon like a pistol out of paper instead of a simple one like a knife out of a piece of metal doesn't make any more sense to me.The situation in the jail is shown as it is like a normal average us-American jail, but I can only hope that it isn't.In the end I was left with the question what this was all about. I don't know.

This movie was awful in my opinion, yet funnily enough i stayed glued to the screen till the end. I guess it wasn't because the movie was interesting rather i wanted to see what other things the director decided to pull out of the bag. It was hilarious at times with things that just came up (gun made of paper mache), and i don't usually expect to be laughing in such a drama. This movie seemed like it didn't have a style of it's own, rather incorporating whatever the director wanted to throw into the movie, and when you try and throw everything and anything into a movie, it makes it a stupid movie. The scene where one of the inmates (Clever) starts dancing while mopping the floor? Sorry, but i REALLY thought the movie was awful.

i think dong hard time was an excellent movie, Michael K Williams a.k.a Omar from The Wire was great i have seen a lot of prison movies and this one was the most believable definitely a classic with a great cast and great story line. Every father can relate to the pain he was going threw and would probably do the same thing he did The character of razor was a very important character to the story line and deserved recognition at the end of the movie, the fight scenes were very intense between dirty curt and Boris , i hadn't seen a fight scene that good in a movie in a long timea must see movie
