Prison movies, and prison buddy movies really seemed to hit a peak in the early 90's but this one doesn't rank in the top 100. The cast should say otherwise but it largely relies on manic comedy but just doesn't seem to make any laugh. The story is good, but the cast of characters are far too stereotyped.
The plot just feels forced and quite predictable, it pays out as you would expect.
I did watch this because Roddy Piper was in it, but his role is very limited and more air time is given to characters with less ability but have the name value.
There are much better prison movies such as Trading Places, Stir Crazy, Tango and Cash, Lock Up. Which deserve your attention.
