Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Jonathan BBuster Keaton delivers another two-reel masterpiece that is inventive, hilarious, and features insane and dangerous gags that all add up to 19 minutes of Keaton bliss. After Buster gets himself into the jailhouse the film goes completely insane and Joe Roberts gives an equally terrifying and hilarious performance as a huge convict bent on escape. This is darker humor than most of Keaton's other films as prisoners and guards are killed and it isn't until the end that we see it was all just a dream from when Buster is originally knocked out by the golf ball. "Convict 13" is a fast paced and nonstop comedic masterpiece and utilizes every single minute to add layer after layer to a hilarious setup. I don't think there is much better use of your time than to pop in the disk (I'll let anyone borrow Buster Keaton because everybody should see and enjoy him.) and spend 19 minutes in comedic paradise.
User Review - 8/10 by Pete HOne of Stoneface's earliest and bet showcases.
User Review - 8/10 by Private UConvict 13 is great Buster Keaton flick, full of ingenious slapstick comedy mastered greatly by Keaton. It must be said his physical comedy cannot be mirrored or match. Convict 13 follows Keatons change of identity throughout, it can also be said that Keaton is a amster of situation comedies as he conjures some of the best situations in comedy history including Convict 13.
User Review - 8/10 by Dustin RStarts off like it's just going to be decent, but ends awesomely when Buster starts going crazy at the jail house.
User Review - 8/10 by Matt KFantastic. I also love the "twist" ending.
User Review - 8/10 by Maico *Classic Buster Keaton film. Not one of the best because it didn't really have as many of his usually stunts in it which is what makes the films stand out in the first place. Although the plot made up for that because it really was funny. A man gets knocked out and an escapee convict changes their clothes and the wardens catch Keaton and take him to prison. Lots of funny things follow. I have to mention a shot where Keaton is hit and he does this bounce back and a few rolls. It's just brilliantly done as he lands perfectly with his back right up against the back wall with the timing just perfect. Only Keaton could do something like that to perfection. It is a must see Keaton film and isn't to be missed.
User Review - 8/10 by Ethan YA hilarious and surprisingly violent short from Keaton, although the funniest part doesn't even come from Keaton himself, but instead from an inmate who viciously beats police office after police office on the head with a sledgehammer. (I said it was violent didn't I?)
User Review - 8/10 by Aj VI don't know how Keaton could be mistaken for a convict, but it's funny anyway.
User Review - 8/10 by Kevin NAn hilarious account of mistaken identity. A must see!
User Review - 8/10 by John MBreaking in for a promotion. Mistaken for an escaped prisoner, a golfer (Buster Keaton) finds himself in prison where he may be the only person able to prevent a mass break out. This is the first Keaton short where I did have a couple of issues, although none of that has to do with the quality of the short itself. I wasn't watching a terribly high resolution print of this, but that's what you get when you're searching for things to watch on Youtube. Also, I wasn't the biggest fan of the score itself, but again, that might just be an issue with the print I was watching, as I know plenty of these silent movies feature alternate piano scores. That said, there are a number of clever ideas featured here, and this is in every way a precursor to Keaton's later works; you can totally see elements of Cops and Seven Chances featured prominently here. It really picks up when they stop playing golf and get to the prison, and it has a very striking visual finale. All in all, this is another solid entry in my Keaton education.
