- The Gutter MonkeyFebruary 3, 2025A simple yet effective story that manages to touch anyone who ever sees it. At worst, you'll only like it — but odds are, you'll probably love it.

- Dave BarnesMarch 12, 2025Yeah it's a good story, but the best movie ever made, I don't think so. Well worth watching for the story and the acting though.

- JeremeyJune 2, 2025— Prisoner Approved™ “Ain’t nobody ever made me cry like when Red saw Andy on that beach — not even the birth of my child.” — Cutthroat McGee, Cell Block D “Watched it 87 times. Still believe I can crawl through a river of shit and come out clean... metaphorically. Haven’t tried it literally. Yet.” — ‘Lil Reggie, Currently in Solitary “They showed it once on Movie Night. Half the block got quiet. The other half tried not to get caught crying. One dude got stabbed for sniffling too loud.” — Tank, Life without Parole “10/10. No car chases, no shootouts, and I still got goosebumps. The realest movie I’ve ever seen — and I once watched my cousin set his own leg.” — Spider Mike, Rec Yard Philosopher Now available on every inmate’s top 5 list — right between Blood In, Blood Out and Frozen, for some reason.
