Nothing special. A lot better could and should have been made out of a probably very interesting true story.

This made-for-TV movie has it's good times when it is rather powerful (especially the beginning) but then it loses itself as it describes the boot camp (everybody is so good and understanding...) and is overly simplistic towards the end by portraying "the cruel world that will not take a miraculously (in 3-4 months of boot camp) redeemed ex-criminal. Talk about politically correct...

Overall, the acting, directing, cinematography, script, etc., same as the whole movie, average to below average.
