When a reserved accountant is condemned, he needs fight the corrupt prison system to prove his innocene or serve a life sentence.

Moviefreak,

I noticed you begin your loglines with "When a..."? I recommend you mix it up and try different things. Variety is king.

I like "brutal" better than corrupt to describe the prison.? Or maybe "brutal and corrupt".

But I don't think he was the victim of a corrupt justice system. The judicial process failed but that doesn't mean that the process was corrupt. The circumstantial evidence implicated him and he didn't offer a vigorous defense.

And I stand by my earlier statement about "proving his innocence".

I have no problems with "reserved" because what initially seems to be a character weakness turns out to be a character strength.? His? inclination to think before he acts, think before he speaks turns out to be a key to his success. He "picks" his way to freedom without making a rash move or statement that would blow his plan.

I can only identify one moment when he acts rashly:? he plays a record of Mozart's? music over the prison? PA system -- a defiant gesture at the system and the warden.? (A moment of emotional catharsis evoked by music that is fairly common in the midpoint sequence of film, I've noticed.)? ?It costs him 2 weeks in the cooler.? But at no time, in no way, does he do or say anything that would threaten to expose his escape plan.
