Review of Papillon

Papillon (1973)
3/10
Boring
16 October 2013
I'm sorry but I thought this movie was really boring. It felt like it was at least one full hour too long and there were a lot of scenes that were way too drawn out that could have easily been much shorter, or some scenes that could have just been cut out altogether. The guy escapes again and again and ends up in the same place so why do we need to see the entire thing seeming like it is in actual real time taking forever? The end is OK but they could have gotten there sooner. I also thought that Dustin Hoffman's character was very annoying, he just didn't seem too believable. Steve McQueen is about the same in every movie and I like him so I liked him in this. I thought the story was OK especially since it is supposedly based on a real story it just felt way too drawn out and boring to me.
