The ending is bittersweet, especially when you think about how many innocent men didn't get this ending

[LostNbound]

This movie has a happy, but sad ending at the same time. The Judge, or whoever he was, dying before he could write up their release papers after finding out they were innocent was awful. They may have escaped, but their lives are almost over.

[iamdonnietae]

Willie was a true friend. Even though they escaped, and he’s stuck there, he never snitched out of jealousy. I respect that.

[bigmooga]

Imagine spending 65 years in prison for a crime you didn’t do.

[jasmineebron]

The way he said “I never said it didn’t work” and just kept laughing without answering their question😂😂😂😂

[tasheenajohnson]

Whoever did the makeup for this movie deserved an award because it’s really realistic lol. They really look like they were that old.

[shelbeepollino]

Claude never lost his love for baseball or his best friend 🖤 I love this movie.

[cool]

Indeed a sad/happy ending, they lost everything.

Except their friendship.

[jonathancineus]

This ending gave me chills. Still one of the most underrated movies of all time.

[chikami]

That cut to the stadium, with the music, and the bright colours, is so brilliant as it contrasts the previous parts of the film lol it really feels nostalgic, me being a 90s kid and all lol -- Ray and Claude finally got the freedom, and even if they wouldn't have 40 years more to live, they learned a valuable lesson in prison; to spend what moments of life you still have, and spend them well.

LMAOO they escaped and still arguing 😂 I love this movie

[TheAngryBear]

This is Martin and Eddie's last movie together. 😢😭

[b.writer]

When they stand up to cheer after everyone else sits back down, I can not hold my laughter in no matter how much I try 🤣😆
“Whooah”!!!

[oxaj]

I Love How He Tells But He Didn’t Snitch

[sebbybastian]

“I never said it didn’t work” the best line in the movie😊💅🏽

[parkermudsen]

With its mix of comedy and drama, Life is low-key Eddie’s greatest film. It’s certainly Martin’s greatest film.

[tonymata]

I was sobbing during this moment, it's like a mixture of happy tears and sad tears.
I'm glad that I watched this film on HBO Max years ago and it's now one of my personal favorite comedies / dramas.

[JRae]

I will never get enough of this movie 💜🥺 I loved this ending! Still gives me a mix of emotions... glad they finally escaped.. but still angry because their whole lives were stolen away from them & they only have a short time to enjoy freedom. This will always be my favorite movie. Beautifully & perfectly executed!

[brantfrans]

They did a really good job on the make-up.

[dustinhuiting]

This movie deserves an Oscar. Especially today.
