American Me Ratings & Reviews

Steven AndersonJuly 27, 2025
A true classic that has a crazy history for those involved with making it. Hands down the best prison movie ever made that is pretty accurate for how the California prisons used to be, though it is no longer really like that. Either way, if you haven't seen this movie then I highly recommend it.
