Great movie. Touching story. Great role of Kevin Bacon.
It is unfortunate that this whole pathetic shell was fiction
and that it was not reflected in reality.
If this story was completely true - I would give nine stars."

Melko raskassoutuinen, mutta jämäkän viihdyttävä vankila- ja oikeussalileffa. Päähenkilön osalta historiallisia faktoja väännetty Hollywoodin toimesta pahasti sijoiltaan, jotta katsojan sympatiat varmasti olisivat Kevin Baconin esittämän pikkurikollisen puolella, jota Gary Oldman ja muu Alcatrazin henkilökunta kohtelee kaltoin.
