Alcatraz

Trust me. Any good reviews here were written by relatives. Did they make this with a phone? Lol! It's TERRIBLE! They couldn't even get there opening credits right. I was bored that quickly. Listen to me...RUN! Run away! I'm fifteen minutes in and I'm done. I value all remaining hours of my life too much.

Horrible movie! I was giving it a more of a chance than I normally would because it was about Alcatraz, but as soon as I saw the General with his civilian biker-style moustache and modern style military uniform with velcro... turned it off.

Don't waste your time.

Terrible acting, dull plot, cinematography is weak, with some transitions between scenes causing me to actually laugh as they are so bad. Of all the prison movies in the world, miss this one.

I made the mistake of reading about the battle of Alcatraz before viewing this film.

When you read the true facts there is clearly a story there to make a really good film depicting the real events.

Why then "hollywood" as it often does departs from true events and changes the facts baffles me as ever.

If you view the film without knowing the true story you may find it more enjoyable and rate it a bit higher.

And as for the last 5 minutes of this film, it is absolute drivel, they should have edited it out !

What a pointless pile of dung this movie is. It is just full of derivative cliches taken from Patton and The Departed and other good movies. It is boring and has laughable acting. That army general is just a silly, buffoonish character. It is hard to imagine this garbage got made
