Factual errors: The main character Dennis sharpens a spoon in his cell into a weapon by rubbing the end of the (stainless steel) spoon on what is clearly (aluminum) checker plate. As aluminum is a much softer metal than steel, the checker plate would be worn away and it would be impossible to file down the spoon in this way.

what can i say?!!!??? this film is under rated and the actors and actresses deserve all the credit in the world for a truly entertaining performance. hats off to Johnny lee miller and Andy! they blew me away. this film has it all; comedy(Johnny's face in the plane!), drama(his wife), and the bit with Vin is truly heart wrenching!! i really felt for Johnny's character and how much he NEEDS revenge, amazing!!! this is a film for young adults and adults. due to the sometimes graphic nature of the images shown i wouldn't recommend this for children of 12 or younger. the actors use their abilities to the full and i could not believe the manner in which Andy comes across on screen,he would have made a superior bad guy in many a super hero movie!again i cannot say how much i liked this film!highly recommended!
