…running almost half the length of Papillon, this is sensational stuff, yet takes more time than you’d expect to explore how the prison system works, or doesn’t…a rough, tough little movie that’s way better than it’s got any right to be… Go to Full Review Quentin Tarantino The New Beverly 06/22/2020
The film's three lead characters, Jim Brown's alpha male Le Bras, Christopher George's pacifist Davert and especially Rick Ely's fancy boy Jo-Jo are refreshingly complicated and three dimensional. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/12/2019 Fun prison exploitation flick. But how can you not enjoy a Jim Brown movie? See more 06/18/2013 Jim Brown is a prisoner on Devil's Island who, guess what, tries to escape! Released the same year as "Papillon" this film is like comparing "The Shawshank Redeption" to "Penitentiary." I like Jim Brown a lot, with his oddly charismatic wooden style of acting, but this film is pretty bad. See more 04/30/2013 76% It's what you'd expect form a 70's, Cormen production. See more 04/21/2011 Fun, gritty grindhouse prison escape movie. Jim Brown amps up the cool factor without goin overboard, but the filmmakers clearly relish in going far, far overboard. See more 11/18/2010 Lmao u guys have to watch this movie XD See more Read all reviews
