Movie Reviews

Creative Loafing - 9/10 by Matt BrunsonPeter Strauss's powerful performance is just one of the many plusses found in this compelling drama.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 7/10 by Tim BraytonPeter Strauss gives one of the great one-off performances in television history.
PopMatters - 6/10 by Sarah BoslaughMann's fine visual sense is on full display in his first movie, The Jericho Mile...
User Review - 10/10 by allison sMichael Mann's first film and already an incredible piece of work.
User Review - 8/10 by Michael MMichael Mann made for TV film surpasses many theatrical releases. Filmed in Folsom State Prison with actual inmates.
User Review - 8/10 by Matt CThe other TV movie that doesn't suck. Probably the best running movie I've ever seen (of the what, three?).
User Review - 8/10 by Thomas KMade for television but it opened a lot of eyes as to what a talent this guy was.
User Review - 8/10 by Victor MThe success of the "Rich man, poor man" TV series could explain why this TV film was presented in theaters in Peru. Shooted in the real Folsom prison with the real inmates. It gave a strong feeling of reality to this production.
User Review - 8/10 by bill sA really good long forgotten film with really fine performances especially from Strauss and Mosley.
User Review - 6/10 by Rab C13.5.2011 Michael Mann's understanding of cinema is already evident in his first feature. The story is also a good one, and the film shows understanding of its characters, their values and situation. The atmosphere of the prison was well created, and the dialogue created a true sense of the place. However, most of the acting was rather average, so the film as a whole didn't rise to the level it could have with a better cast.
