Indeed, I always had a weak spot for movies dealing with prison escapes and this one was easily one of the best I have seen in this genre.

Prison escape movies are usually the kind of caper films that enliven the tension of criminals plotting and digging, with melodramatic character studies and bitter social comment. Le Trou begins with an ordinary-looking Frenchman staring at us from the yard of an auto shop, telling us that the story we are about to see is true, and that he was part of it. His name is Jean Keraudy, and Jacques Beck... read more

"26.7, PC Tunnelin kaivaminen ynnÀ muut pakoon liittyvÀ valmistelu tuntuvat erittÀin realistisilta. Viiden vangin vÀlillÀ vellovaa ystÀvyyssuhdetta, johon pieni luottamattomuus tuo epÀvirettÀ, on varsin kiinnostavaa katsella ja elokuva itsessÀÀnkin kertoo jotain luottamuksesta jÀnnittÀvÀssÀ ja viihdyttÀvÀssÀ kehikossa."
