In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Last Castle (2001)
A war film directed by Rod Lurie, starring Robert Redford.
A high ranking army man in put in prison for war crimes. The prison warden and guards are abusive and sometimes kill prisoners. Lead by the new inmate, the prisoners revolt.
The main characters in this were absolutely static, while the supporting cast changed around them. The plot was decent, as were the style and pacing. I'm rating it adequate.
