Movie Review: “Stone,” a drama that revolves around a Michigan parole officer and a convict seeking freedom, is played against a background of soothing voices preaching Gospel truths, asking questions about man and God, and offering alternatives to established beliefs and religions. Over the airwaves and in the media, a contest for minds and hearts and recruitment is being waged. Even in the maximum-security prison where parole officer Jack Mabry (Robert De Niro) works, the inmates’ library has a shelf lined with brochures and leaflets from religious groups, like a supermarket shelf for souls shopping for redemption.

Gerald "Stone" Creeson, serving time for Arson, is coming up for a parole hearing. To increase his chances for an early release, he tries to manipulate correctional officer Jack Mabrey by playing psychological games and having his wife Lucetta seduce Mabrey.
