With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for fans of prison dramas and anyone after some adrenaline. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Fans of Midnight Express should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 57 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1937: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Ace Beldon is in prison, but with his stolen bonds not recovered, Capt. Saunders has an idea. He sends Graham to prison and has him and Beldon break out. With Ranger Raymond assisting, they make their escape and get to the hangout run by Stone. But the plan starts to go awry when Sam overhears Graham talking with the Captain and reports back to Stone.
