Alcatraz meets Hitler

Rating: 7/10 (20 February 2010)

I wanted to give this a 10 but was forced to give it a seven. This was a good movie and I was expecting it to be more of a period piece as Marty's movie's usually are. However, aside from the hat that Leo wore there was not much to this, ya know? The movie subject is interesting. I was expecting this to be some kind of Ghost movie but it was more of Alcatraz meets Titanic. Robert DeNiro has a very brief cameo as one of the prisoners in the civil war wing. There is a fair amount of violence but it's mostly where you have these flashbacks about Hitler's Germany. All in all not bad. Good cinematography. If you are expecting to see Goodfellas I would suggest renting that movie or Casino. This movie is not quite what I was expecting but it was still good,
