Doing Hard Time

Good cast, but a bad movie! This is hard to get through, the script is terrible! And the editing could have been much better; why is it so grainy?! RIP Michael K. Williams....

The film was growing but I assume on purpose. Acting poor and script worse. I must questions the review's on this site. Whilst I know we all have differing opinions how any one can score this a 10 I'll never know. This film wasted the acting talents it had.

I thought "Doing Hard Time" was a decent movie. All the performances are good especially Michael Williams as Craig and Sticky Fingaz as Eddie. The plot is about Mike (Boris Kodjoe) who purposely gets himself thrown in prison because the killers of his child are in the same jail, and he wants revenge. It does have all the clichés you expect in a prison movie (The corrupt guards, every prisoner has a cool nickname\disability). It tries to be different by showing the killer to have a heart and be remorseful and in the long run, it does work. The script is a little weak at points because it sometimes tries too hard to be "the outside the box prison movie".

In The End: It's worth seeing for the odd plot line and gritty performances.

No pun intended of course. I was quite surprised ... I remembered the cover for this from back in the day when there were video stores (look it up) ... but what a cast this has. I reckon if you have to look up video store, you probably have no idea who I am talking about. Still if you see the actors in this, you may feel their screen presence.

It's a shame then ... a shame because the story tries to be so many things. Tries to paint the people inside it as more than one shade of ... whatever color you want to see them in. It almost works too - because of the actors we have in this. But it really feels weird at best in its worst moments. Not sure if I would lay the blame entirely on the main actor - it seems the others do a better job than him ... whatever the case, quite the curiosity and quite the odd movie with cliches and things I did not think would happen ... quite the raw potential one can find here ...

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.
