Playing

This film got mild reviews and was very unassuming and

non-challenging. This would be the place to see it. Rated

gags. Rated PG.

Hanks plays a guard on death row who witnesses several

one plays which ? This movie did very well in the big

theaters and now can be seen for a dollar. Sounds good to

me. Rated R.
