Inspired by a true story, GREENFINGERS tells the charming tale of a group of hardened criminals who are sent to a progressive prison in modern-day England. Clive Owen (CROUPIER) stars as Colin Briggs, a strong, silent type who has been locked up for a serious, unidentified crime for which he feels a deep need to do penance--by himself. But when he is delivered to Edgefield Prison and put in a room with old Fergus Wilks (WAKING NED DEVINE's David Kelly), his private life is no more. Fergus forces Colin to attempt to grow violets, and upon hearing of the flowers' success, the warden (Warren Clarke) decides to make Colin a gardener, giving him a staff of murderers and thieves who soon take to the soil like no one ever expected. When horticultural expert and media socialite Georgina Woodhouse (Helen Mirren) finds out about the special gardening project, she takes the men under her wing, especially Colin, who seems to be developing an interest in Georgina's daughter, Primrose (Natasha Little). But the prisoners' dark pasts threaten to overwhelm them as they prepare to participate in the Royal Horticultural Society's Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. In addition to the outstanding acting, the film features classy direction by writer-director Joel Hershman and an inspiring soundtrack, with songs by U2, Bruce Springsteen, and Tears for Fears, among others.
