Indeed. I think this was the last thing I enjoyed him in that I can think of at the moment.

How so? That's what actually happened, the guy escaped by pretending to be a guard.
Although, I will say it's somewhat difficult to be sympathetic in the beginning because the guy making a huge fucking mistake.
Funny, how this movie was basically rehashed into Brokedown Palace."Everything is amazing right now and no one is happy" - Louis C.K.Comment

There's sites that go into detail about what Hayes has recanted or what needed to be explained more.My readers come to me for my thoughts and opinions. I've built myself into a brand

That's not to say that Turkish prisons are great. It's just that shit didn't necessarily go down the way they were shown. Plus, Hayes was still convicted of international drug trafficking.My readers come to me for my thoughts and opinions. I've built myself into a brand

That's what I mean. It wasn't as if the guy was an innocent who just got jammed up. The guy was a criminal, granted the treatment was insanely fucked up. But still.
For my money, you want to see an American trapped in the hell of a foreign country. Go watch Missing.
And if you want to see Quaid act. Go check out The Last Detail.Last edited by Ed Hocken; 07-22-2009, 11:48 PM."Everything is amazing right now and no one is happy" - Louis C.K.Comment
