Alcatraz

I made the mistake of reading about the battle of Alcatraz before viewing this film.

When you read the true facts there is clearly a story there to make a really good film depicting the real events.

Why then "hollywood" as it often does departs from true events and changes the facts baffles me as ever.

If you view the film without knowing the true story you may find it more enjoyable and rate it a bit higher.

And as for the last 5 minutes of this film, it is absolute drivel, they should have edited it out !

Very amateur movie sadly. Acting was plastic by unknowns and came across like one of those 80's cardboard soap operas. Audio was a bit off too. For a Netflix movie I'd of expected a bit more professionalism.

What a pointless pile of dung this movie is. It is just full of derivative cliches taken from Patton and The Departed and other good movies. It is boring and has laughable acting. That army general is just a silly, buffoonish character. It is hard to imagine this garbage got made

Horrible movie! I was giving it a more of a chance than I normally would because it was about Alcatraz, but as soon as I saw the General with his civilian biker-style moustache and modern style military uniform with velcro... turned it off.

Don't waste your time.

I lasted 21m. Don't waste your time on this low budget rubbish. It really is terrible. Netflix has a lot to answer for.

The acting and dialogue is so, so bad. There is zero character development.
