Summary: 4 Stars
Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence team up for a prison comedy underlined by serious social commentary - wasted lives. Ray Murphy, a pick-pocket and con man, and Claude Lawrence), a straight-living bank teller, are complete opposites who cross paths in a 1932 Harlem nightclub. In order to pay off their debts to a local crime lord, the mismatched pair travel into the Deep South on a moonshine delivery only to be framed for murder by a racist Southern cop. Sentenced to life in a Mississippi state prison, the bickering duo spend the next 65 years trading barbs and planning their escape, while forming an unlikely but touching friendship. They finally escape substituting dead bodies for their own in a arson-fire - and end the movie together watching a Yankees game together. There are a few good laughs, but it's not what one would expect from the two comedians - it's more a friendship movie that develops over time.Movie Review: Highly enjoyable
Summary: 4 Stars
Martin and Eddie are solid actors in this film, and the title is very apt given the content. Two black guys are sent to jail simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and being black, the justice system is especially down on them.
The movie chronicles their six decades of jail life (a big part focuses on their first year in jail, but various scenes later show the progression) It's interesting to see all the things that happen through the years and how people age and how the pair (almost) get several chances to get out of jail only bad luck keeps riding them. It's also fun to watch the jail change through the years from rundown shacks in the 30's to the fairly comfortable nursing home/ward for aged inmates in the 90's.
I can't complain about this movie - all the actors, prisons and guards/wardens/etc alike do a really nice job in their roles. Two thumbs up!
