the kill yard be a great film and although uneven at time . morris chestnut put forth a phenomenal effort a a mentally wounded and judicially jilt prison inmate and and the presence of alan alda a his defense attorney be none other than genius . the emotion and raw reality portray in this film flashback scene have the ability of put viewer directly into the midst of the event be picture . i be not even bear when the attica riot take place and however and through extensive research and i find that the kill yard do the story all of it fair justice . i would definitely recommend this film for view by any educational or activist group a a much need learning tool .
