I remember seeing "Papillon" in the theater (Bellerose, NY). I've seen it many times since. It never gets old. It still packs a punch. Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman both give very good performances. The supporting cast is also very good. The location photography and the music are both top-notch. The violence still shocks. "Papillon" doesn't waste any time. The story starts right away and never lets up. This movie made a big impact on me when I was a kid. All these years later, it still makes an impact on me. "Papillon" is a classic.
