Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
David de la Fuente Saw this at a Producers Releasing Corp. "revival" of films that would have been better left for dead. A truly bad movie that does offer some chuckles for its general ineptitude, bad acting, goofy dialogue and awful sets (not one scene set in or around the prison looks like it has anything to do with a prison but instead looks like it takes place in a boring 1930s office building). Did Joel and the Bots ever get ahold of this one? It would have been perfect. Definitely better with an audience to share the howlers.
