The Hollywood Reporter -
Beyond its visual splendors, however, the film achieves searing moral power.

Orlando Sentinel -
An entertaining old-fashioned prison escape movie with a touch of the epic about it.

Movieline -
Weir's artisan's sureness grants a bewitching calm - his trademark ambience - to this harrowing tale.

Chicago Sun-Times -
There is an irony here. The film exhibits an admirable determination to do justice to a real story, but the story's not real.
