Critic Reviews

Andrew O'Hehir

A cryptic and unsettling film. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

In the final analysis it all feels very much like a successful acting exercise that while psychologically acute, doesn't really bring much more to the table than what we've already gleaned from a few episodes of "Oz." Read full review

Jack Mathews

The cruelty of the law has been better demonstrated with news stories, and unless you're a Californian with two strikes against you, I don't know why you'd want to do this movie to yourself. Read full review

Laura Kern

A stagy, only mildly compelling prison drama that ends up feeling like purgatory to all involved. Read full review

Merle Bertrand

Tedious talk-fest. Read full review

Jim Ridley

Becomes the umpteenth prison drama to focus on the lurid threat of forced submission. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

I wouldn't have thought it was possible to make a prison picture as utterly boring as Jailbait. Read full review
