⭐ Featured Review

Powerful and thought provoking drama based purely on the characters.
by PyrolyticCarbon β€’ 2000-11-18
7/10

"Restrained performances and confined locations make this a powerful thriller. Glenn Ford is superb in the role, Leslie Neilson however is a tad over the top. Where this film succeeds is in sticking with the main character and never straying from his confinement or his pain, and when it comes to the hardest decision of his life, you're battered by the argueing group. Gritty and thought provoking...."
