An intriguing beginning and quite interesting battle
with the governor of the prison system.
I expected a little different ending,

I love this film every bit as much as the first time around. Based on a true story of corruption that stretches from the prison, that is the film's centerpiece, all the way to the Governor's office. Redford is great, as usual, as the new warden who brings light to the darkness, threatens the status quo and eventually gets fired but not before the damage is done."

Kuitenkin ihan viihdyttävää katseltavaahan tämä on ja paikoin on vankien täysin eläimellistä kohtelua on kuvattu hyvinkin realistisel"
