It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Again I was not thinking much of it, didn't even know DJ was the instigator.
Wonderful amazing strength from those young felons, and amazing heart and soul from all officers.
That's what life is all about, courage patience strength persistence and above all don't you ever give up you dreams.And you DJ I always liked you as an actor, now I understand why,you for real man.Peace

If you've seen the ad for this HBO original movie lately, it shows Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (who's name is in the title even LOL) as the drill instructor of a hardcore group of young men in a military-like bootcamp, rather than being shipped off to do ten years to life in the pen--Sorta reminiscent of his movie, "The Gridiron Gang" . Well, yes, he shows up at the beginning --for like TWO minutes, and then is like, SEE YA -- I'm OUTTA here! LMAO So yes the TV spot -- little deceiving, however, stick around, this is a good movie, despite his absence! LOL I even thought this story might make a good big-screen dramatic film -- hmmm, the casting?? -- maybe Andy Garcia, Jamie Foxx.... Dwayne Johnson perhaps?? Haha

There is no research covering 20 years that indicate that Boot Camp programs for juveniles reduce recidivism. Almost all jurisdictions have abandoned these programs because they are ineffective over the long term and the liability of the injuries inflicted by staff.Hey rock "can you smell what I am cooking?"

Excellent documentary. I am happy to see a program of this nature succeed. Do not let Donald Trump see this. He will want to cut the funding.Hopefully these young men will be able to turn their lives around. I did not know that the Rock was a graduate of this program. It certainly did not do him any harm.
