Never droopy, this flick of almost 150 minutes flies by, with a satisfying conclusion that ties up the loose threads with aplomb. Ashe.

Youve got good taste.(IMO) I love the sequences with the coffin.(nuff said)
I finally got to see A Prophet from last year. This movie has been called a landmark of French film. Its a tough prison film that can match any previous. Its a tough story of a young man sentenced to 6 years in a French prison. The story is complex and completely believable. It clocks in at 150 min. but it doesnt feel like it. No padding here. Great flick try it.
