I made the mistake of reading about the battle of Alcatraz before viewing this film.
When you read the true facts there is clearly a story there to make a really good film depicting the real events.
Why then "hollywood" as it often does departs from true events and changes the facts baffles me as ever.
If you view the film without knowing the true story you may find it more enjoyable and rate it a bit higher.
And as for the last 5 minutes of this film, it is absolute drivel, they should have edited it out !
