Doing Hard Time Audience Reviews

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
bakidarakari The story is straight simple.no mystery.but the way they begin the movie,you would expect something unexpected would be unravelled but to my disappointment it is not.could not know the who was playing the protagonist.i thought story would focus on one character but gradually shifted to another.not good enough.
msmeechie2005 I saw the movie recently and I was pleasantly surprised. Yes the movie has a common plot line and the characters were somewhat believable. The thing I liked about it most was that for some people, it took them out of their box.Boris Kodjoe is always playing a basketball player or some type of athlete. This role was something different. I applaud him for trying to come out of his comfort zone and trying something else. I also noticed that Regan Gomez-Preston can truly play the girl next door. I am used to her being a goody two shoes, but she reminded me of a few people that I know on the streets. Hats off to her too.The whole theory of an eye for an eye is not relatively new. It is something that we can all identify with. I did feel that the writers and directors tried to put a little twist on it. There was symbolism and a little bit of artistic creativity thrown in. The ending was not what I expected. It was actually the best part of the movie. I recommend this as something to watch on a Saturday night when someone is in the mood for a little action, but something that is not too violent.
mdswing When my sister brought home this movie to watch my first thoughts were - "black action movie, never heard of the title, can't recall any of the actors names.. must be rubbish".After deciding to give it a try.. it turned from a bad drama to a comedy. The acting was horrible, the plot was stupid and to top it off the prison had 1 prison guard.. she was hot though.I ended up laughing the whole way through this movie. Laughing not because it was funny, but the acting and some of the scenes were just stupid.Overall i give it a 1/10 only because i couldn't vote any lower. Rent this movie if you want to see how NOT to make a movie
s_r_d If you like badly acted and badly edited low budget movies then this is your flick (Tarantino - take note). I'd recommend 'Baby Boy' with Snoop if you want a good 'from the hood' type movie. Personally speaking I don't think DHT was worth the discounted rate it took to make.It's a prison movie mostly, though there are a few 'outside' scenes. It is low budget. The story makes no sense - I couldn't get in to the main characters mindset at all. There are several scenes that dwell for an inappropriate amount of time on male rear ends in the prison showers and other prison places. I don't like looking at man butt, so that bothered me. The acting sucks too, not just a little bit - but a whole bunch. The editing tries to be artsy but just succeeds in being crappy and bad. The one exception is when the gay bookie character is dancing to an old song while mopping up after hours, that was a decent scene for about 15 seconds.Overall, not worth the time - pretty much garbage.
