Carlos T @RT67858720 May 13 O condecorado General Eugene Irwin é condenado após uma decisão militar desastrosa que custou a vida de soldados sob seu comando. Enviado para uma prisão militar de segurança máxima, Irwin acredita que apenas cumprirá sua pena em silêncio. Mas ao chegar ao local, encontra algo pior que grades: abuso de autoridade. O presídio é comandado pelo Coronel Winter, um homem obcecado por poder e disciplina, mas que nunca conheceu verdadeiramente o campo de batalha. Um comandante que possui patente... mas não honra. Pouco a pouco, Irwin percebe as humilhações, torturas psicológicas e mortes dentro da prisão. Até que a morte de um jovem soldado se torna o ponto de ruptura. E então nasce uma rebelião. Não apenas contra um coronel. Mas contra um sistema inteiro construído sobre medo. ⭐ Nota final: 7,5 / 10. See more ALAN H @alrev Jan 25 Really, folks, fuck the critics. Sure it's unrealistic. Which action films aren't? But it's tons of fun. I loved it. See more Daithi S @Daithi Dec 24 I think it is an amazing movie that moves along at a good pace the cinematography in the film was class and deserves far more than a 52% critic rating it's a classic that anyone could sit down and watch. See more Miss T X @TiaDalmaTia Dec 3 The film is more morally tangled than its patriotic framing initially suggests. A cautionary tale about pride and the myth of selfless righteousness. We're supposed to rally behind Redford’s Gen. Irwin, a fallen hero who inspires fellow inmates to reclaim their dignity, while Gandolfini’s Col. Winters is framed as the tyrant warden. From today's POV Winters’ actions seem more bureaucratic than brutal. He's not a monster, just middle management in uniform. It's a character study of a soldier who can’t return to civilian life. Irwin doesn't offer men liberation, rather he drafts them into his private purgatory. Irwin's cult of personality cloaks pride as patriotism, sacrificing men for his legacy. Winters has got a procedural mindset, he's but an instrument of the institution. Irwin unveils his weakness by turning their conflict personal. Riot sequences have enormous plotholes. The film entertains, but no longer inspires, ultimately asking, which leader strayed farther from their duty? See more David D @David2026 Nov 7 The critics reviews very often display a deep dislike of the military and what is a male centric movie. Given when it was released, it was a sign of what was coming in society. As we move out of that zeitgeist, lets see what the next one brings. The film itself is good, not brilliant. The acting is solid and the script and pacing work. It's a good watch, but not one shot for cinema. This is home viewing. See more Lee H. @LeeHop7 Sep 20 Is the plot formulaic? Yes. Is it still worth watching? Hell yes. Gandolfini and Redford’s performances are top notch and even though you can see the ending coming from a mile away it still manages to draw you in.
