Life (13-Apr-1999)

Director: Ted Demme

Producers: Brian Grazer; Eddie Murphy

Keywords: Drama, Comedy, Moonshine, Unjustly Accused, Prison

Two petty criminals from the Prohibition era sentenced to life imprisonment after a false accusation of murder come to terms with their fate. Told in flashback. Surprisingly good seriocomedy for Murphy and Lawrence, who both have a habit of choosing extraordinarily poor roles.
