I enjoyed this film even if it wasn't a movie I would have seen in the theater

I saw this film as one of those mystery movies where you don't know what you're watching until you get there. I had a couple of tearful moments and realizing that half the cast was actual prison theater crew is impressive.

I was almost about to walk out when I found out it was Sing Sing, but the movie held my attention and kept me in my seat until the end

Again, the cast was mostly made up of prisoners who were part of the theater group and they really did a pretty good job considering the only experience they had was in prison.
