Review of The Penalty (1920) by Béth L — 24 Apr 2010
Lon Chaney is, of course, amazing. When I was watching it I told a few of my friends about what Chaney did. He strapped his calves and thighs tightly together and walked on his knees, with his knees pressed tightly in metal so he could only stand it for 10 or 15 minutes at a time, which is, pretty much, Hardcore.
Other than Chaney, I thought the film had quite a slow pace and not that much of a climax. If you're a fan of Chaney, like myself, or of Silent or Gangster movies, you should definatly check it out, otherwise, it wouldn't be missing any great film achievement.
