7/10. Slow but enjoyable dramaticized real-life story of a breakout from
Alcatraz prison. Clint Eastwood stars as the ringleader of the
expidition. The movie itself is not really centered completely about
the breakout, but also about life in Alcatraz. I've taken the tour
of it in San Francisco, but I could never fully grasp what life was
like. The movie moves slowly, but was never boring, allowing
attachment to some undeveloped characters. The breakout itself was
exciting, as was just the planning. A good movie overall.
Rated PG.
