FIRST IMPRESSIONSJust saw the original Longest Yard โ or, as it's apparently called in the UK, The Mean Machine. Yeah, imagine my confusion, especially knowing about the Adam Sandler remake!
This is the second American football movie I watched today, after revisiting The Blind Side! :D And Iโฆ didn't like it. I'm sorry: this seems to be a very popular movie, but it didn't... read more

(OK) A harsh, hard, macho Aldrich adding rugby to prison unjustice. Dirty Dozen meets Cool Hand Luke. Action piece with strong characters, strong supports and nothing else. Bernadette Peters is funny

"3/7/17 Burt Reynolds is the former football star who ends up in prison under Governor Eddie Albert, who blackmails him into forming a prison team to go against the guards. Robert Aldrich's macho comedy drama is so popular, it spawned two remakes, both inferior to this terrific film that helped establish Reynolds as a star. Look out for Richard (Jaws) Kiel, credited as Dick Kiel."
