I haven't read the book but this does seem like a really bare-bones and straightforward rendition, with the soul having already escaped and left a rigid, lifeless husk much like the emptied Alcatraz of today. Clint Eastwood's trademark wooden performance only serves to accentuate this. There are some scenes with nice composition, but that's about it for this one.

Under Quarantine Film Reviews #89: For all the talk in the film about how it was impossible to break out of Alcatraz, they broke out pretty easily. Although it was well directed and hosted a bunch of great characters, the severe lack of suspense was its downfall.

Gerçek bir olaya dayanan bu filmde, ABD tarihinin en meşhur ve en güvenlikli hapishanelerinden olan Alcatraz’dan üç kişinin kaçış hikayesi konu edinmektedir.Clint Eastwood’un mükemmel oyunculuğu ve Don Siegel’in harika rejisi filmi oldukça yukarı çıkartan etkenler.

The last collaboration between Clint Eastwood and Don Siegel and their final film together is also one of their best. A perfect prison movie that takes its time and builds up the mood and the coming escapes. Realistic, tough and slow. A parent to The Shawshank Redemption .
