How could I have overlooked this little gem? I had never heard of it. However, based on my movie ratings over on Netflix, this came up as a recommendation. I'm glad it did. Number one, it stars Clive Owen, who is easy on the eyes. And, it's got a great plot to boost. It's loosely based on a true story. Some hardcore prisoners are sent to an experimental prison for rehabilitation. There, they are required to take on jobs to prepare them for release. Clive Owens character, Colin Briggs, discovers he has quite the green thumb. So he, and some other inmates become gardeners. Eventually, under the tutelage of Georgina Woodhouse (Helen Mirren), they are invited to compete in a national garden competition. The Hampton Court Palace Flower Show.
