“For a TV movie, this is quite good. Itu0026#39;s the true story of the Attaca prison break, which caused a hell of a ruckus back in the seventies and started all sorts of prison rights and liberation talk. The film is a tautly trimmed, suspenseful and well acted production with a good cast including Sam L. Jackson and Kyle MacLachlan.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA rookie prison guard at Attaca finds himself immersed in the awful treatment of the prisoners, and has a hard time reprimanding the prisoners. Heu0026#39;s then unwittingly slung into a violent prison break, and held hostage by the prisoners.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are some unnecessarily offensive and crude moments in the film, which are not relevant and are entirely superfluous. The violence is quite impactful, and the film deserves a high rating.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSix out of ten.”
