Review of The Longest Yard (1974) by Mick Lasalle for San Francisco Chronicle — 28 Aug 1975
No classic, but neither was the original starring Burt Reynolds. Instead, it's an odd mix of amusing nonsense and nastiness that chugs along, hit and miss, until the last section, which is the best part of the movie and its real reason for being: the game.
