In this
remake of THE LONGEST YARD, Robert Aldrich's 1974 Burt Reynolds
prison tale concerning inmates who organize themselves into a
football team and compete against the guards, British director
Barry Skolnick pulls together a ruthlessly funny cast and
changes the resident sport to soccer. The leader of the
prisoners, played by Vinnie Jones (LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING
BARRELS), is a former soccer star who is asked by the warden to
coach a team of prison guards.
Instead,
he offers to put together a team of inmates, who will be able to
scrimmage with the guards' team!!
