Movie Info
Robert Redford stars in this action drama as General Irwin, a respected three-star tactician whose career ends in disgrace when he's court-martialed and sent to The Castle, a maximum security military prison. Irwin quickly butts heads with the facility's autocratic warden, Colonel Winter (James Gandolfini), who runs his command with an iron fist, even killing prisoners when he deems it necessary. Irwin rallies his fellow convicts into a rag-tag army and leads them in a revolt against Winter, an

Bizarre, confused, sanctimonious manure.
Top CriticThe themes that ring out most loudly in the end -- some men are just born leaders; others do best if they just conform -- are numbingly retrograde.
Devolves into a mundane warden-versus-inmate conclusion.
A dull, borderline inept action-prison drama, in which lead star Robert Redford is totally wasted.
Lurie's first attempt at a larger-scale production isn't entirely successful...
Os diálogos são ótimos, os dois antagonistas são bem desenhados e corretamente vividos por seus intérpretes, mas é uma pena que, nos últimos minutos, torne-se formulaico demais.
After impressing with his debut, former film critic Lurie has destroyed all of his credibility in the space of two hours with this display of jaundiced jingoism.
Robert Redford's military prison drama contains cruel and unusual punishment -- for the audience.
