Review – Escape from Alcatraz

The last time I was in San Francisco I took an evening tour of the title location. So for me a lot of the amusement value of this filmed-on-the-spot production was of the hey-I-remember-that variety. Tourism aside, this is a reasonably well made story of the last and most famous escape from The Rock. Of course the general assumption about this trio (led in the picture by Clint Eastwood) is that they drowned in the bay, but at least they made it off the island. The story of desperate men figuring out how to get out of their cells and over the wall is entertaining stuff. Mildly amusing
