  1. For almost all of its length, “Escape from Alcatraz” is a taut and toughly wrought portrait of life in a prison. It is also a masterful piece of storytelling, in which the characters say little and the camera explains the action.

  2. Recommendation. I had pure fun watching this underrated classic film. Definitely one of the greatest prison escape movie ever made, in my book. The Shawshank Redemption has a great story, of course, and some top performances, but I see Escape from Alcatraz as a better movie.
