The pace and style reminded me of the "Full Monty", but the story didn't seem quite as satisfying.
A couple of "wanna be" bank robbers end up in an English prison, with a population of mostly decent people who are missing their lives outside of the prison. An opportunity comes along to stage a prison play, and a couple of the prisoners see an opportunity for an escape. The escape plot is complicated by a rather unlikely romance between one of the prisoners Jimmy (Nesbitt) and the only female that works in the prison, Annabell (Williams).
Olivia Williams, and Christopher Plummer gave good performances, and the movie was more interesting when they were on the screen. A decent film, but not particularly memorable.
