"This prison/crime/drama from 1995 is a criminally underrated gem. Kevin Bacon gives the best performance of his career as a prisoner in Alcatraz that is brutalized by the system. Christian Slater expertly plays his inexperienced attorney who is trying to help. It's a shame that Bacon didn't win an academy award for this role, in fact he wasn't even nominated. Heartbreaking. I love this movie. If you haven't seen it, RUN, DON'T WALK and watch it now!!! You'll thank me later. 10/10"

"Kevin Bacon was phenomenal in this hard to watch role. His character was sent to Alcatraz for $5.00. Brutal punishment. 3+ years in insolation. It was an underground dungeon. Christian Slater was his attorney. "
