I
decided to watch the 1979 film Escape From Alcatraz starring Clint
Eastwood. Years ago I went through a phase where I would rent movies
starring actors that are now old and seeing why they are famous. With
Eastwood it was a lot of Westerns. I never really wanted to watch
this one because prison stories are easy to make bad. Thankfully I
really enjoyed this movie. I was filmed well, good sound, acting was
decent, and the characters were memorable.
This
is about Eastwood playing real life criminal Frank Morris after he is
arrested and sent to Alcatraz because he keeps on escaping whatever
prison he is in. He meets the warden who is an asshat as well as some
friendly prisoners and some that want him for his man-meat. Eastwood
also drops an n-bomb and I was like “How has no one used that in a
song?” This was a cool movie and really easy to get to. The prison
break is pretty damned tense and though Morris is not a good guy I
for some reason wanted him to get away.
