The true-story finale is given away in the very beginning as if to implore the viewer to stick around to watch just how Adams manages to escape a maximum-security prison, but the final act feels rushed and unsatisfying.

Film Threat

Prison films are an underrated genre, and Pino’s film is a more than worthy addition to the great family of films that take place behind bars.

Rated: 7/10

... It references the canon of prison escape films and allows space for Aubrey Joseph to ably interpret and invite us into Quawntay Adams’ inner life.

Cinemalogue

The title character generates hard-earned sympathy in this earnest prison drama, but his true-life saga of resilience and redemption is handcuffed by shallow characters and genre tropes.

Flickering Myth

Bosco isn’t attuned to any of the elements that would separate this story from a generic prison break film

Rated: 1.5/5

Bad decisions lean to Bosco being locked up. He's escaped once can he do it again? There's more to this movie than an escape plan there's themes like freedom is a state of mind, enduring torture and hate for your overall well being….

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Sentenced to 35 years for attempted possession of marijuana! How insane is that? You'd get much less for murder. The Americans must have had a frontal lobotomy to have devised a system that gave such a sentence.

I really enjoyed this film. I was raw and realistic. I love that fact the main character redeemed himself for his daughter.
