I watched "I Love You Philip Morris" last night, wasnt expecting much but i thought it was a brilliant film. You cant help but feel sorry for the guy, he didnt hurt anyone, didnt show any violence whatsoever and ended up with 144 years just for escaping 4 times. Pretty harsh i though. I advice anyone to watch the film, its really good.
fuck Bush I can't believe he gave him a life sentence just because he embarrassed the legal system of the state he was governing and exposed the cracks and faults it had. To have an ego that big to ruin somebody's life is just disgusting, I suppose that's what it takes to become president...
The only reason he got a life sentence even though he doesn't deserve it is because the fucking system wants revenge for the fact that Russell bested them several times.
Sigh.. another smart mind gone to waste. His release will be in 2140. Not 2040. For the things he's done he does deserve a prison sentence but I'm not sure if life sentence was the right choice or legal amount provided. This guy could've done some good for the world if he put his mind to it.
@Jayeeyee agree. Rapist, murderers and pedophiles go to prison for less than a decade and then they're free to go and never to think about what they committed again, especially since they're protected. But Russell who never actually hurt anyone can never get out again or interact with someone ever again. WTF? Didn't Frank Abagnale, Jr get recruted by the government, why couldn't they have done the same with him?
This was an incredible story. I wish Discovery Channel wouldn't dumb down their documentaries with hokey re-enactments and over the top narrators. Ugh!
I love how this fugitive finder thinks he is so cool, when clearly if you find Philip Morris you find Steven Russel. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
His release 2040 :\ he was born in 1957. :| He's gonna be dead by then. Mann this guy is a freakin GENIUS! My gosh and he didn't kill anybody he just was smart and sneaky just put him on Dang probation and let him go!
144 years for what !!! Outsmarting the system...seems a bit excessive. The guy never hurt anyone. Well I guess just the massive egos of the Texas prison system. What a shame!!! 144 years :-(
@delaniemurray1 A good lawyer should be able to get him out. He is not violent, he is not a threat to anyone, he's not even a drug abuser. Like the movie noted, the state of Texas (the Governor Bush) was embarrassed. That sentence is purely punitive. In what law book does it say one should get 100 years for breaking out?
Aunque supuestamente Ask Marilyn tenga la nota del coeficiente intelectual mas alto del mundo, él ha COMPROBADO su coeficiente intelectual tres veces más que ella.
what i find weird is how he was genius enough to escape prison multiple times, but he couldnt think of a way to stay out of jail or not get caught again... this guy wasnt all there i don't think.
yeah...and I don't know how true I love Phillip Morris is, but if anything in that movie was true, as bigger than life he might be he's a complete romantic
this guy is so intelligent he should not be in jail rather teaching people skills but not skills that he did like in life but he is a genius and he shouldnt be locked away per say he could do something great with what he has
i saw the movie!!!! what i dont understand is why the hell did they give him a 144 prison sentence who the hell is going to live to their 300 years old?
wow this guy has NEVER ever hurt someone, and I am so glad I watched the movie. He is clearly a SMART man, and he has NEVER hurt anyone.. may i repeat. Why the hell should he get 114 years??
@LILJOKERDOTCOM yea i know that but how did he get out of his cell with the green uniform...obvioisly it was the only clothes he had but then he dye it green. u get me?
@DrLeonardBonesMcCoy DUDE IK!!! everyone...ik he made his uniform green to get out as a doctor....WHAT I REALLY WANT TO KNO...he obviusly dye it green in his cell, so how did he get out from the cell without the officers tellin him, wassup with the green uniform....GET IT!?
@SOyouTHINKurFUNNY Prisoners are allowed out of thier cells daily to work or go out on the yard etc. He could have stashed his green uniform somewhere the day before or even somewhere on his body. The prisoners are not always personally escorted out of thier cells. The cells electronically open and the inmates choose to stay or exit thier cells.
A life sentence for a white collar crime now that excessive punishment, murders are treated better. Ironically just saw the film i'm in austin and I didn't even know this was a real story.
The movie made him out as too much of a hero. His adventures were amazing and he's no doubt a genius, but he is still a criminal and still belongs in jail.
If that investigater's job is to find "Texas' most dangerous fugatives" then why the hell was he looking for Steven Russell?
All Steven was doing was playing off the naivete' of people. Our government and every major company does the that every day and they aren't considered "dangerous".
It is a travesty how long this guys jail sentence is, especially considering wall street bankers steal billions from average people while this guy defrauds a company and gets a life sentence. Wall Street gets rewarded with more tax payers money when they should be hung.
He "preys on people"? No such thing. He's never once shown signs of violence or even a tendency towards violence. Is he ethical? No. But his wonky ethics mainly effect large and impersonal corporations. He's more intellectually capable than 99% of the population. That alone should be reason to reduce his 144 yr sentence or at least provide him with a more stimulating environment than isolation 23 hrs per day. Judge tossed the book at him b/c he embarrassed Texas officials, plain and simple
163 IQ!!!!!!!!!!!!! 144 year on prision?????,,The petition states that Steven isn't a violent person and the sentence of 100+ years in a maximum security jail looks more like an act of rage than real justice.
Pssh $800,000 is nothing. How many millions do CFO's steal from their own companies and label them "bonuses"? He was probably the least crooked CFO that company ever had. Not to mention how many billions were stolen from U.S. citizens during the financial crisis.
@xmhyanx This is one of the few cases where the term 'genius' actually applies. This guy was found to have an IQ of over 160, which definitely places him in the genius range. I just finished watching I Love You Phillip Morris. Great film and Jim Carrey is freakishly good. Highly recommended
@xmhyanx there's a whole movie about it on Netflix. I just watched it with my g/f. I heard that it's actually pretty accurate. It's called "I love you Philip Morris". It's kinda funny (has Russell's played by Jim Carrey)
