| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanThis fact based story from the mid 50s American penal system is a sobering and dramatic reminder of how many states treated mentally ill patients, criminal or otherwise |
| User ReviewMikhail BEmmett in Chattahoochee is one of Gary Oldman's best performances to date and I really believe it should hate a higher rating. Not only is it based on a true story, but both Dennis and Gary are superb actors who shine throughout this one. I wish more people could see how wonderful it really is. |
| User ReviewMike MNot usually something I would watch, but Oldman is great |
| User ReviewSpeg BGood grief. I wonder if anyone, other than myself, has any knowledge of this film. It's a really well-written, well-acted film. Of course, how could Dennis Hopper and Gary Oldman be bad. |
| User ReviewRoyce KNot usually something I would watch, but Oldman is great |
| User ReviewMEC rdosnt seem to me too many viewer's out there when it comes to this exceptional movie. if you're unfamiliar with it...try to track it down, you will not be dissapointed! based on a korean war vet who looses it & end's up in the looney bin(i know of a few that ended up in a facility, but not like this horror show.) dennis hopper also has a great part & is fantastic. i highly reccomend it! |
| User ReviewJoe ESO INTENSE! Not for the faint of heart, I don't know how Gary Oldman's performance in this film escaped getting awards! |
| User ReviewJoyanna WThis is a really good movie, it's very realistic and based on a true story. It is well worth the watch. It has an uneven pace but is still a great movie. Oldman is a great great actor, and does a great accent in this one. Very moving character. I loved the part where he sings Jesus Loves Me. very moving. please watch! |
| User ReviewCarrie DI really liked this film. Very underappreciated, with Gary Oldman & Dennis Hopper giving great performances. |
| User ReviewCindy IHard as hell to sit through, but SO worth it if you do. Gary Oldman plays a Korean War veteran who cracks up and is sent to an asylum/prison camp that makes the farm in Cool Hand Luke look like Disneyland. Supposedly based on a true story about a place in Louisiana. Oldman is fantastic. He's so talented. It's a shame he wastes so much effort playing freaks -- True Romance, anyone? |
