I found this movie floating around on True Movies one afternoon and thought the film sounded interesting i.e. criminals vs cops.

The acting was average and nothing special came from anyone including Morgan Freedman. I had to admit I've never seen Freedman looking as young as he did in that movie.

The soundtracks were passable to accompany the dangerous moments and the ending. Could of been better.

The script could of done with some, "dramatization". It wouldn't of hurt the film to add some more speeches, some little action moments between the criminals and cops. I understand its a true movie and it is trying to reflect the moment of September the 9th 1971, but thats what I think anyway.

I have to say I was surprised to see how the ending was. I could not believe the U.S would be as ruthless and dangerous as to line up the guards and start shooting anyone who is not on the floor with their hands behind their back.

Good movie with a sad ending.
