No Shawshank Redemption
A drug smuggler is caught and put into a Turkish prison, where he tries to escape, gets caught, does more time, etc etc etc.
Though it was reportedly lauded as artsy and whatnot during its time, it's somewhat a dull movie with little happening.
The only woke parts are the constant homosexuality. The source material, a book about the true story of the criminal, does depicts homosexuality, so it's not a sudden deviation. But it's not fun if you were watching what you hoped was a badass prison break movie, lulled into boredom, and then have gay feely scenes lopped onto your viewing. If you want to avoid that stuff, avoid this movie.
