For a short film, I thought this was endless. First of all, the whole premise. The business of all these felons lounging around in a train car, heading for Alcatraz. The principle figure sitting around moping, going from his smug self to being frightened to death. The whole security issue is beyond comprehension. Then there's that old guy whose son was killed, riding in a car, trying to keep up with the train. There is taunting and wordplay going on. Then there is this boring guy who won't shut up, talking through his hat. I suppose he is comic relief, but he's not a bit funny, even in this time period. The young woman who is enamored with the murderer is hanging around but what point is there to her being on the scene? There are those dark close ups and camera shots, which, I suppose, were sort of experimental for the time. When it gets down to it, there's no real story.
