Review of Escape from Alcatraz (1979) by Murray S — 26 Aug 2007
Pretty decent adaptation of a true story that unfortunately falls victim to overlength and repetition. Eastwood is solid as always, but the rest of the cast is questionable. Certainly worth a watch, but the rising action just rises and rises.
..leaving most pretty unsatisfied with the nearly 2 hours of "here comes the good part...?? Oh, not yet".
