Playboy Johnny Gray is framed and sent to prison after...four robbers hijack his car and make him drive the getaway, but then the boss splits with the dough just before the police catch up with them.
From the gullible crooks who sit in Johnny's car and wait to be arrested, to the trial where Johnny sits alone without defense and never says a word until after sentence is passed, to the inmate on his deathbed who admits with his dying breath that Johnny was framed, to Johnny's trusting cell mate, to the prison break scenes, many of the most significant actions and motivations in this movie—the ones that drive the plot—were not convincing, and felt mostly contrived. Reasonably well performed considering what the cast had to work with, but the screenwriters asked for suspension of disbelief to the point of turning your brains off almost entirely. It's so dumb, it's nearly insulting, almost a
wall-banger.
Additionally, whoever ran the
telecine machine for the digital encoding couldn't be bothered to adjust the film gate registration, so that the film is between frames for much of the time, and we get to stare at the black line between them. For someone who grew up with films and has run a movie projector, this is equivalent to a badly encoded video image full of pixelation and artifacts.
