    Good for some (unintentional) laughs

    Saw this at a Producers Releasing Corp. "revival" of films that would have been better left for dead. A truly bad movie that does offer some chuckles for its general ineptitude, bad acting, goofy dialogue and awful sets (not one scene set in or around the prison looks like it has anything to do with a prison but instead looks like it takes place in a boring 1930s office building). Did Joel and the Bots ever get ahold of this one? It would have been perfect. Definitely better with an audience to share the howlers.
