Recension

I think this movie was a little bit boring and uninteresting. But at the same time is it funny and a little bit sad. I think the movie is very good for children, they see how it looked at that time. The movie is not my style but parts of the movie were quite good, I also think Combo is very scared and low shitty. One examples of that is when Woody and his friend has party and Combo comes in and scared them, after that he says a few history from the prison and he says a part things as he think at the racism. Combo is racist and he says what he likes. If I should give the movie points from one to five (1-5) so I would give the three of five.
