I was completely on board for the first half! The way they depicted the effects of isolation and his descent into madness was incredibly well executed. Unfortunately, the second half lost me, the pacing slowed, the story lost focus, and I simply grew bored.

...a highly watchable, episodic saga about the drive for freedom at all cost.

One of the greatest behind-bars movies ever, the result finds director Franklin J. Schaffner making the most of both his sun-drenched locations and his leading man, who squintily acts even co-star Dustin Hoffman well off the screen.

...Dustin Hoffman (as a fretful counterfeiter who's taken under Papillon's wing) produces a splendid depiction of cunning corruption that acts as a perfect balance to McQueen's superstar charisma.

Steve McQueen & Dustin Hoffman dåvarandes
Tom Cruise & Christian Bale.

Denna film är ett stort äventyr och min favorit inom prison-escape genren.

En berättelse om orättvisa, fighting spirit och broderskap.

Riktigt bra och välgjord film. Att den är några år på nacken spelar ingen roll utan den håller fortfarande.
Mycket bra skådespel.
Att det är baserat på verklig händelse gör den ännu bättre.
Se denna klassiker!
