Synopsis:

Reviews:
"Fact-based, shot-on-location break-out flick, part of a cycle of superb prison movies written and directed by Crane Wilbur, a silent movie actor who reinvented himself late in life as one of noir’s most unusual and underrated stylists. Central to the film is the tension between its “documentary” framing device (the first few scenes consist of interviews with actual inmates, and non-professionals make up part of the cast) and Wilbur’s camera style, which is heavy on vanishing point compositions and geometric patterns, and, in its best moments, revives the visual language of the late silent era."
