This movie is captured brilliantly but is blatantly racist. It is an autobiographical story of William Hayes, so the story is supposed to be from his point of view. But, racism in this movie is beyond any limit. Completely one-sided, theThis movie is captured brilliantly but is blatantly racist. It is an autobiographical story of William Hayes, so the story is supposed to be from his point of view. But, racism in this movie is beyond any limit. Completely one-sided, the movie is made in a way so that we sympathise for Mr. Hayes. Expand

Of all the prison dramas, this is one that was quite the rage in the increasingly distant 70s. It is not exactly one of the best or definitive, but the performances give it something, if not a lot of value.

Its protagonist is not very interesting and it relies on more stereotypes than a Punch-Out!! game, but it has great performances (John Hurt in particular), really tense sequences, one particularly gruesome scene and an excellent musicalIts protagonist is not very interesting and it relies on more stereotypes than a Punch-Out!! game, but it has great performances (John Hurt in particular), really tense sequences, one particularly gruesome scene and an excellent musical score.

It's not as effective as it probaly should be, but it does its job well enough.
