Lebenslänglich (1999)

Lebenslänglich: Directed by Ted Demme. With Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Obba Babatundé, Nick Cassavetes. In 1932, two strangers are wrongfully convicted and develop a strong friendship in prison that lasts them through the 20th century.

“Sure,Eddie Murphy has gotten credit over the years for being the comic genius that he is,but he does not always get proper credit for his movie work.1999u0026#39;s Life is a good example of Murphy getting overlooked.He does great work here,along with Martin Lawrence(whom I am not a huge fan of, but I must give him due credit here)as two men wrongly sentenced to life imprisonment.This is an excellent story,and casting Murphy and Lawrence in the lead roles is nothing short of a perfect idea.I never would have thought of them as a great team,but I was pleasantly surprised here.A must see for any die hard Eddie Murphy fan.”
