Escape from Alcatraz (1979) - Review

Title: Escape from Alcatraz

Star Cast: Clint Eastwood, Patrick McGoohan, Larry Henkin,...
Director: Don Siegel
Writers: Campbell Bruce (book), Richard Tuggle (screenplay)

One among the gems of Clint Eastwood.

Story of a prisoner who escapes from the most notorious jail of Alcatraz. There is a way in to Alcatraz but not out alive. Clever making and outstanding performances. There were many scenes which excite us about the proceedings, what is he going to do next. Clint rocks asusual. Everyone else too did a very good job. This film is the basic inspiration for another outstanding film Shawshank Redemption. Escaping scenes in Shawshank are straight-lifts from this flick.

Definitely worth a watch and Clint fans will enjoy it a lot.
