[QUOTE="Saturlight, post: 241984, member: 233652"] NO OFFENCE TO THE GUYS ON HERE, I TOTALLY RESPECT YOUR OPINIONS AND ADVICE, but this is what I wrote on the Internet Movie Database under my name eye.sea And this is not directed to anyone on www.satellites.co.uk!!!! :D :) :) :D Why, because you're all [B]not blind to other films[/B]. SO RESPECT....... [B] ON IMDB:[/B] "OK, so what is the story about? NOTHING. OK, a successful bank manager gets imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit; okay, done A MILLION TIMES BEFORE AND BETTER. He gets assaulted, both physically and sexually: DONE A MILLION TIMES BEFORE. He escapes from jail: DONE A MILLION TIMES BEFORE. And all done better before. What gets me is the infantile story of this guy making the BRITISH LIBRARY out of a prison. That is so pathetic and weak, it would not have been considered in Cagney's day. Oh, James Cagney, you probably do not know him. He was in one of the greatest gangster/prison films ever, "Angels with Dirty Faces" (1938), miles better than this SHAM-shaw Redemption tripe. Or do you lot not watch black and white films? And while you're all expanding your film knowledge, check out: Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) Escape from Alcatraz (1979) Papillon (1973) The Great Escape (1963) Road to Perdition (2002) Just a few GREAT films, movies that SHAM-shaw redemption cannot hold a candle to. And the person who replied, you say you "do not care" what I think, yet, WITH RESPECT, you say nothing to underline why you feel SHAM-shaw is so brilliant. It's supposed to be about hope... What hope? * That he spent 20 years tunnelling through thick concrete to get to the sewer and escape? LOL. * That he gained "protection" from the prison guards by giving them banking and insurance advice, and in so doing gaining beer for his fellow prisoners. * That he turned the prison into The British Library! * That he escaped, looking younger than when he went in jail 40 years ago? Yeah, hopeLESS, more like." Like I say, this is not intended to anyone on here! ;) [/QUOTE]
