*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
I was amazed by this pretty little flick that Republic pictures gave us. A sort of THE LAST MILE aboard a train. Don red Barry is here the convicts gang lead, the equivalent of the Preston Foster or Mickey Rooney characters for the two versions of THE LAST MILE. A cold blooded killer.
A wild bunch of convicts are aboard a train which lead them to the famous Rock. Of course, they plan to escape. Exciting at the most.
We can find here Roy Barcroft, as a warden. He is very good in this character, unusual for him. Keep in mind that he was the heavy one for most of the Republic Pictures movies. He was seldom on this side of the law...
Plenty of thrill, action sequences. A Republic Pictures at their best. So is Red Barry. He is usually the good one.
Such a shame that there is the usual good and honest convict, accused of a murder he did not commit, and who clears himself at the end. I am tired of that. That pisses me of !!!
