| User ReviewUnali WHenry Lesser, un hombre de principios y fe en el sistema penitenciario, ingresa como guardia de prisiones en Leavenworth, una de las cárceles más infernales del país. Allí conoce a Karl Panzram, un asesino catalogado de irredimible cuya mente está cargada de odio pero que a la vez está dotado de una gran personalidad. |
| User ReviewQïnaed vMore for fans/admirers/researchers of Charles «Carl» Panzram, however, it does contain a good amount of quotable material. Some critics apparently were expecting some sort of Horror film; it carries on more like a slow-paced, dramatic indictment of the mechanically indifferent U.S. prison system. |
| User ReviewPieter-Jan VBrilliant film... Woods plays the part of Panzram really well... and the scene of the brutal beating he dishes out on the prison guard!!!! say no more |
| User ReviewJen MRobert Sean Leonard!! First I planned not to see it, but then I saw that RSL was in it so I changed me mind. The film was pretty good, but boy, that James Woods carachter killed a lot of peaple! |
| User ReviewJames MA prison drama of a cold-blooded murder, based on a true story. Worth watching alone for James Woods excellent performance. |
| User ReviewJason Y[b]VHS[/b] First Viewing, 1 Metcalfe film seen James Woods is one silly bastard. The box cover says he deserves an Academy Award for this film. I think I would give him a pat on the back and a thumb up for effort, but no best actor Oscar - not even consideration. It's more of a MadTV sketch than a film exposing the injustice of the judicial system in America. Watch either [i]Paradise Lost [/i]or the second [i]Aileen[/i] documentary (you should see both - actually, you should have SEEN both). |
| User ReviewJohn MUltimately this was a sad excuse of recounting serial killer Panzram days in prison. It focused more on the relationship with the prison gaurd he befriended which made for a dull story. |
| User ReviewLee MKiller - A Journal of Murder turns out to be more like Killer - A Journal of Love. 87 minutes of two guys ''bonding.'' I went from expecting James Woods to slice and dice, to thinking - just kiss already. |
