Greenfingers





This is a hilarious flick elevated not only by Clive Owens' great acting demeanor and excellent good looks but even more so by the phenomenal theatrical dexterity of David Kelly (Waking Ned Devine). Helen Mirren plays a fantastic early English version of Martha Stewart, but with spicey attitude.

Netflix Review:
"A (green) thumbs-up for this affecting true-life tale about hardened con Colin Briggs (Clive Owen), who gets a new lease on life -- behind prison bars -- as an award winning gardener. Wonderful in support are David Kelly as a prisoner chum of Briggs' who coaches him out of his shell and Helen Mirren as a world class gardener who fears for her daughter when she falls for Briggs."
