Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: The headlines on the newspaper Harry Tracy reads announcing Merril's betrayal misspells the word "Trail". It reads "150 Men Persue Bloody Tracy Trial" Surely they weren't talking about 150 newspapermen in a courtroom. It should have read "Bloody Tracy Trail". more

A tense action drama that draws you in., 21 July 2003
Author: Leonard Eagle from Melbourne, Australia

I wasn't sure what to expect when I sat down to watch this, but it turned out to be very entertaining. Bruce Dern is a highly underated actor, and he makes the perfect "desperado" in this high-tension action/drama. The fact that it's all based on real events makes it even more gripping. The Macmillan Memorial Library has some great background information on Harry's crimes, his incarceration, subsequent escape, and the manhunt that followed. Supporting cast are good, and the scenery is spectacular at times. You can't sympathise with such a ruthless criminal, but you have to admire the way he evades his pursuers by every means available. You'll find yourself renting this one again in the future.
