    A great actioneer with a jungle prison setting with no grauds. Liotta does alright, but it's the villian who steals the show (don't even know his name). Hudson plays the likable token black guy and lives! Dillon plays the whimp of the bunch and Henriksen plays 'The Father', the only charicter I don't like. -Stone

    I am surprised why other reviewers think not highly of this movie...I think the story was fantastic. When I got it I thought this was going to be a Sci-fiction movie as its set in the future...however its was more about survival in a village among primitive humans who are prisoned there unknown to the outside world...the story was very unique. I wonder if there is a sequel to this as I really enjoyed this film a lot.

    I consider this a classic. If you like 90's action movies give it a try. Interesting plot line that combines the feel of a post apocalyptic survival movie with a prisoner fighting a corrupt system.
