| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsNeither a dynamic central performance, nor a director and script-writer of individual talent, can conceal the frayed conventions of a story-line largely irrelevant to this film's main purpose. |
| User ReviewStella DWith its vision of the British prison system as a Hellish melting pot of all persuasions - Irish, Australian, Italians, West Indians, the mentally disturbed - and where the guards don't only turn a blind eye to vicious beatings but even facilitate them, this is a gritty Joseph Losey directed film full of memorable moments and features a great lead performance by Stanley Baker. The supporting cast is impressive, offering a virtual who's who of perfectly cast 60s British character actors. |
