9/10. Intensely entertaining and enthralling Steve McQueen pic about a man
who constantly breaks out of wherever he is. Although it's a little
long, it's never boring and it keeps your attention. The movie starts
off slowly, but soon becomes more exciting as it goes on. Although
not much backstory on the main character is presented, the movie
showed the harrowing conditions he was put through, and it all seemed
realistic, not sensationalized. Dustin Hoffman, as Papillon's
partner, did a good job of basically being a nebbish, and added to
the movie as a whole, which already is strong.
Rated R.
Running time: 150 minutes
