Netflix determined the movie for me as a 97% match. I decided to give the movie a thumbs up.


Rating: 5.0/5
Instant Comments:
2a: Harding seems sane. Though he is bringing up something about existence. Which to some extent is sane, but...
2a: "But I tried, didn't I? Goddamn it. At least I did that."
2a: Interesting. I was also thinking that she seemed to be pressuring Billy and then this other character (Cheswick) mentions exactly that; certainly the concept of therapy has evolved since the time of the book
2a: That's such bullshit. Almost like making up rules as it goes along... I think it's one thing to have rules and another to just be mean (I'm often implementing rules for my kid and it's important to have purpose to enforcing rules)
2a: Hehe. The look on her face.
2a: How come... off of this evaluation... he isn't released and sent back to prison?
2a: Smile. Everyone is a doctor except for Harding. Funny jab.
2a: He has a relatively good heart to take them all fishing (even though he also was looking to get some action).
2a: Wow. They caught two big fishes.
2b: resume at 1hr16min mark
2b: thank you.
2b: lol. if chief and cheswick made it through the shocj therapy then surely hed be ok
2b: did they perform a lobotomy? that should be illegal. [yes, the wikipedia article says it was a lobotomy
2b: mercy killing
2b: I definitrly remember this part (Chief pulls the unit out and escapes)
