Product: Brute Force [DVD] [1947] (1947)
Rating: 4.0
a fine movie
This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film.Brute Force is about a group of people attempting to escape from a prison. The prison has a particularly sadistic guard who beats the prisoners savagely. The film also has a prison riot in it which is somewhat intense.The special features are audio commentary by Alain Silver and James Ursini, an interview with Paul Mason, author of a book on the depiction of prison life in popular culture, a trailer and a photo gallery.This was an exciting film and is sure to please.
