This is not a bad starting place for a movie, but the filmmakers are unable to devise anything original for the patients to do once they've been set free. Go to Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) 06/24/2022
It's madness is a terrible disorder and not a good enough reason to make prothetic jokes. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine 04/28/2021

It is a strong example, however, of a good cast salvaging a watchable film out of suspect origins. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 06/26/2020

thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 18 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Steve D 02/26/2023 Never funny and often uncomfortable. See more Carlos I 11/22/2022 It's got a great premise, with an amazing comedic cast, but it ultimately doesn't do anything very interesting with all these great elements. It's entertaining enough to pass the time with, but with these ingredients on hand, this should've been hilarious. See more 03/16/2021 There were a lot of "the crazies have escaped" type films in the late 80s and early 90s but this one at least has a little more imagination and a good ensemble cast. Good pace, not too long. Worth a Saturday night. See more 06/17/2020 Discussing the flaws in this otherwise enjoyable film is futile, as condemnation from the politically correct crowd drown out any legit criticism. See more 03/28/2019 This movie is hysterical! Character development to the max. Enjoyable and very 80's. See more Read all reviews
