Usually I cannot stand films that are over two hours long because my attention span is so short that I just cannot be bothered. This film has everything a great film should have. It has great humour, amazing actors and the plot is just gripping.
Now I know they're on death row and yes most of them probably do bad things but you just cannot help fall in love with them Michael Clarke Duncan is the best thing about this film by a country mile.

Incredibly well directed movie, each and every character is exceptionally developed and the plot itself is very well written (obviously)
Was watching this last weekend. Somehow I could not stay till the end though I was watching the second time. But I loved this one.
