 Excellent still February 16, 2010

This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Nolte is powerful and convincing. I'd love to see this on DVD. This movie is all heart against a brutal background.

Nick Nolte is a prisoner sentenced to life without parole; he passes the time by reading and then writing a play. A drama critic (Rita Taggart) sees the play performed in prison, is impressed, and begins working for Nolte's release. She is successful and once out, Nolte decides to continue performing the play with ex-cons around the country. At a prison performance in New York, the play (which is about prison life) causes a riot. Funny at times, especially when the ex-cons hit the road, living life on the outside after long incarceration. But the picture is also marred by cliches, especially when the cast is seated on stage after each performance in order to relate prison life to the audience. Nolte is terrific in his role. (Note: I remember reading somewhere that the filming in an actual prison triggered a real life escape during the riot scene. The escapee was quickly captured, though.)

This movie is a very special movie. I wish it were on DVD, but the powers that be haven't released it yet. Hopefully one day it will be available. The movie is about Lee Umstetter's creativity in prison from his nadir at failed attempts at suicide to an almost broadway hit with his play, Weeds. To my surprise, some of the more moving songs of the play were composed by Melissa Etheridge, whos music I never got into. Nick Nolte's performance was terrific as well as the rest of the cast's performance. I have never seen anything like it and probably never will. If there is a complaint, I think the play's music could have been sung better, but perhaps the realism of the movie was against that idea.

A great movie! One of my all time favorites. Incredible acting by Nolte especially when he reads the letter giving him parole. The music is also incredible, who would have known William Forsythe had such a fantastic voice.
