Blu B An Action Thriller Classic. Was really on the fence about a 4 or 4.5 here. The performances are really good across the board. Gandolfini is great and very restrained in his performance. It's suprising seeing him like that and does a good job suprisingly. Redford is the best acting wise and Ruffalo is really good too. Everyone else is solid. The special effects for the end fight are really good especially the helicopter scene which was amazing. The direction is very well done too. The setting is very memorable as well. It can be a little dull and grey to look at constantly and I wish it had a bit more color to it but that's the only complaint with otherwise really good cinematography. Music is really good too. I just wish it was maybe a bit more catchy on its won. Everything else is solid. It can be a little scattered setting up Redfords relationship with prisoners, backstory, and the general leadup to the takeover plot. But the great execution really helps it get through to a great payoff. This is a prison escape type thriller movie that's mixed with action flick and does a great job overall. This has a lot of political undertones to it about patriotism and prisoner treatment. It can feel on the nose at times though the level of that does vary. You wish at times it would maybe tone it down a little bit with the self rightious vibes when it does rear it's ugly head but for the most part it doesn't get int he way of a solid story and delivering it's message and doing it in a grand entertaining way. I will say though the political vibes defintely could rub someone the wrong way at times if their sensitive to that subject matter. Anyone who is a fan of any actors in this, the director, prison movies, or thrillers should give this a try.

But it was ok. 3.5* Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Corey B Even if I was eating a bowl of corn flakes mixed with a bag for corn nuts and followed it up with 20 lbs of corn bread while i was dressed in a cornflower-colored suit in the middle of a cornfield in Nebraska...I'd still say this was the corniest thing I'd ever experienced. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Ni G I was needing some cheesy American plastic American cheese for a burger and this had enough to last me a lifetime! Mildly entertaining especially to laugh at the garishness of American patriotism! 😂 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Suzette T Stop right now this movie is ridiculous. The allegedly "cruel" military prison warden is so terrible that no one has been killed on his watch. Sure he's a dick and hands out shitty punishments but is that really an excuse to literally burn the entire place to the ground and risk everyone's lives including the guards who just work there? What an exercise in military masturbation with plot holes so big you can drive a tank through them. This power fantasy was ridiculous and I'm sure Redford and Gandolgini were embarrassed to be in it.
