CGiii Comment

Rosenberg reprises his prison drama - 13 years after Cool Hand Luke.

It starts off so well - gritty, bum-fucking prisoners everywhere - but, it soon descends into a vehicle for Redford's good looks.

Prison dramas - to get the audience on side - need resolutions - this peters out into a very significant anti-climax that leaves you thinking: why bother.

The(ir) Blurb...

When the new warden comes in disguised as an inmate, he sees firsthand all the corruption and scams the guards and prison officials are running. When he reveals himself and starts to implement reforms to stop the corruption, the local business community, who had been benefiting from the scams, fights back, and the corrupt prison system starts making political trouble for the new warden.
