Wait, this film is just 99 minutes?

I just watched it, and what a film! I couldn't believe that it was 99 minutes long, it felt like it was over two hours, you really felt how long Fontaine spent in prison. Probably because of the fade-outs, which gave me the impression of time passing. This is right up there with Shawshank.

Really? It felt about 20 minutes long for me.

I found it pretty epic feeling as well. I think it's the lack of soundtrack and long silences.
