The Fear of 13

I've never watched a movie with such competely "misguided" reviews. This isn't what I was expecting AT ALL, and that's not meant to sound like a good thing. Guy goes to prison; guy discusses his life story. There are NO twists or turns; no shocking revelations; no thrilling moment of suspense. Literally, just a dude in a chair discussing what it was like for him in jail. 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes is rather puzzling. The whole time I waited for "the other shoe to drop" and it simply just ends without anything strange about it at all. In short, this was a bust.

His story is truly incredible and it's hard to think this can happen to people (without giving away spoilers). I really enjoyed this and was surprised how good his story telling was. I am envious of how he was able to read so many books in his solitude. I know 99% of what he went through was terrible and he while I don't want to put words in his mouth he would probably give anything to get all of that time back. But while it is no comparison, I sometimes wish I could be left alone with no responsibility and could spend all of my time reading, reading anything and everything I wanted to read. He has accomplished a lot and in fact more than some people. In the end, the justice system needs an overhaul.
