Gary D 11/10/2023 Interesting story, good actors, but obviously low budget. Still not a bad movie. See more 06/08/2020 It is pretty disjointed. Borderline terrible. See more 08/05/2019 Excellent movie. Very realistic. Small-time angry Punk commits Crime After Crime After Crime. Finally graduates to robbery and rape, among many other felonies. The main character, Caryl Chessman, wonderfully portrayed so that I truly disliked him. Way, way better than the typical B Movie. See more 09/14/2012 Cheap little noir that has the starkness of "The Killing" but none of the smarts. It's an interesting enough of story that I wanted to see where it was going, but it's nothing all that clever or original. See more Read all reviews
