a b 05/09/2023 The movie explores how both prisons and medical institutions dehumanize people and strip them of personhood. The treatment of disability as a subject isn't as abysmal as I had expected for a film from 1991 and the two leads give a good performance despite a somewhat wonky script. It's worth watching, I think, if you take the time to track it down online. See more 06/11/2017 Watched this obscure Canadian film one under the title Chaindance. A few select prisoners are chosen to work with individuals with significant physical handicaps. A strong bond develops between Ironside and a man with cerebral palsy. Had a chance to be a real nice story, somewhat marred by the shooting at the end.

It was a very sweet and realistic friendship between a convict and an cerebral palsy victim. See more 05/17/2008 A very good movie. Michael Ironside is amazing. (Never thought I'd write that...) See more 09/06/2007 Possibly Brad Dourif's most humbling role to date, and the chemistry between him and Michael Ironside here feels genuine. See more Read all reviews
