I avoided Danny Dyer for forty years of my life and then he's in two of my movies in two days. This is a pleasant film that doesn't reach any real heights but is enjoyable throughout. It's a lot like if The Count of Monte Cristo was about gardening instead of revenge. Helen Mirren doesn't have a lot to do, but she is in full charge of what she does do and as ever, is amazing at it. Clive Owens couldn't play a loud guy if he wanted to. Try to imagine him jittery. You can't can you?

nothing extraordinary, but this turned out to be a pretty touching story of redemption. being a prison movie, i figured that redemption would be mentioned eventually, but i loved how it came in such an unassuming manner. gardening is the last thing you'd expect a convict to do and it was cool to watch it change their entire demeanor. clive owen did a great job as usual and the entire cast proved to be very fun to watch.

Fun movie.
