Jim Carrey is a talented actor who played funny characters with vigour as if he is jumping out of the screen such as "The Trueman Show (1998)", "The Cable Guy (1996)" and "Yes Man (2008)", while he also portrayed an ordinary guy who suffered the pain of love that everyone would experience one or more in their life, in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)". This time, the story is a love story based on a true story, which describes a genius corn man who has an IQ of 169, and became gay after he experienced an accident.
He tries to impersonate a lawyer, embezzle money from a corporation, and attempts to break out of jail many times, just because he is in love. In fact, Steven Russell played by Jim Carrey who attempted to break jail many times, and he was sentenced to prison in Texas for 144 years. Assuming from Jim's extraordinary characters he has portrayed, it may be imaginable that Jim could play someone gay using an interesting look and mannerisms. But you would be surprised how natural Ewan McGregor acts as a boyfriend of Steve.
Steve would do anything including crimes for his loved one. This feeling reminded me of "Monster (2003)", where Charlize Theron played a role, who became a serial killer only for the sake of seeing her girlfriend's smile, which was also based on a fact.
Another interesting thing in this story would be how the network in an American jail is created by prisoners.
