Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Northtribe3 The movie surrounds the character Frank Leone (Sylvester Stallone) who is forced into another prison against his will and then bizarre and crazy things starts to happen and he need to help his friends and himself from trouble. The so called warden (Donald Sutherland) makes the prison life a living hell for Frank and it gets harder and harder to survive in prison. Now I have heard so many times people complaining about Stallone's acting abilities but I think he is such an underrated actor and I do not think he deserves all the crap he's gotten through the years and this movie sure proves that he can make the audience get emotions and care for his character (great acting!). When you get emotions towards the good guys and when you feel hatred towards the bad guys you know you've made a great movie. The movie takes the viewer on a wild journey and you're on your edge of your seat almost throughout the whole movie. The movie caught my interest immediately when I saw that Stallone and director John Flynn (who directed one of my favorite horror flicks "Brainscan")was involved. There's just something about prison movies in general, they almost never disappoint you. This is by far one of Stallone's best performances ever if you ask me. This movie gets an excellent rating of 10/10 stars from me.

david-sarkies The theme of this movie is the distinction between good and evil and that of appearances and reality. In this movie the criminal is the good guy and the cops are the bad guys. Okay, they aren't exactly cops, but the warden of the prison, traditionally a good guy, has become the master villain. This movie is very pro-criminal and shows us that not all of them are evil, and in fact some of them are simply there at the wrong place and the wrong time and destroy their lives because of a simple mistake. The law tells us not to make those mistakes, but sometimes this is not always possible, especially for the easily lead.Leone (Sylvester Stallone) is finishing off a gaol term after he was locked up for an assault, and then later for escaping from lawful custody. He was six months to go in a nice prison, when during the night he is transferred to Gateway, the state's maximum security prison. We quickly find out that he has been brought to Gateway by the warden who is angry that when Leone escaped, he was treated as the criminal and Leone was the good guy. He resented this and he is determined that Frank Leone will pay for the humiliation that he caused him.The thing that catches me the most about this movie is the soundtrack. It is able to create an illusion of happiness in the midst of a time of trial and struggle. During the placid moments we are completely oblivious to the danger of the place in which Leone is in, and that the warden is actively against him trying to provoke him to commit a crime and find himself in prison for the rest of his life. The warden goes from simply torturing him to having his friend killed to provoke him to attack and kill his enemy.The warden is the major character which I shall look at. He is not an evil man, but rather he is a control freak who sees the world in aspects of good and evil. Everybody who is in gaol is inherently evil and they should not be let outside because they are responsible for the way the world is running. He is an uncompassionate man who considers the prisoners to be lower than humans because they have given up their rights because of the crimes that they have committed.Donald Sutherland does a brilliant job as the warden. He is so cruel and nasty, yet he is able to hide that side of him to the outside. It is also notable that not all of the guards are on the warden's side. The guards either do their job, love their job and carry it out to the extreme, or treat the prisoners as humans and question the actions of their colleagues. Through this movie we are confronted with the fact that people are not what they seem to be: the prisoners are good people, the warden is a very bad and sadistic person, and the guards at first seem to be very brutal only to be revealed that the brutal guards are a minority among those who do their job. Moreso, it is the Negro guards that are the good ones, while the white guards are generally bullies.I like this movie and I also like Stallone as an actor. He is an emotional actor who plays his characters well. I liked him in Tango and Cash and the other movies that I have seen of his have been just as good.

julesdil Great prison drama with an friendship theme if you want to know it is about a man who gets put into prison when a bully gives him crap that involves a great ending , dialouge is good but the acting gets cheesy in places but it is a fun film that you can enjoy like i say great sound and visceral, this is a better Stallone film. 7.0 out of 10.0 good / excellent entertainment , lacks with brilliance and is dull in moments. Stallone has done way better but this you can like i was surprised to see a great drama Stallone rules.Don't expect brilliant expect character depth and friendship elements.Any way buy this its very well made and is very good to watch as it is great.

Bene Cumb It is definitely one of the strongest action movies with Sylvester Stallone's participation: the plot has twists and unexpected outcomes, the cast is evenly strong and there are interesting characters both "good" and "bad". Apart from Stallone, the other stars are Tom Sizemore, Donald Sutherland and John Amos - all memorable and active still today. The director John Flynn was famous for good action movies without obtuse bursts or chases.As almost all prison movies, it must be uninteresting to women, the female character is less than 10 minutes on the screen. Bill Conti's music provides an additional value to the scenes.If you like Stallone, you should see this movie (again)!
