Interesting Eddie Murphy film, in which two young black men get unjustly condemned to life imprisonment in a Mississippi work camp. However, the dramatic and comic effects seem to be low-key and this isn't ever going to be thought of as a great film.
There is a camp character, "Biscuit" in the prison, who wears a headscarf in a female manner, and nowadays would be a transsexual, no doubt. The character is played by Michal A Nuñez Jr, who was the star in the film Juwanna Man.
Fairly early in the spell in jail, Murphy's character starts a sort of fantasy with the other prisoners, all imagining themselves to be in the free world in a speakeasy run by Murphy; we see this on screen as if it is real; Biscuit appears as a diva singer in the club.
