THE LONGEST YARD (2005)

PETER SEGAL

Plot

Paul "Wrecking" Crewe is the (unlikely) star American football player thrown into the klink after a drunken blow-out. The dodgy warden enlists Paul to put together a team of inmates to play the guards, apparently not aware of the prisoners' potential desire for a bit of payback. A remake of Burt Reynold's Mean Machine, this watered down version of the brutal original is a pretty pointless time-filler.
