"Brute Force" is a very serious and fascinating movie. It portrays the dark and depressing world of prison life. It explodes into violence with a daring prison break that goes wrong. The action leading up to that breakout is tense and very realistic. The cause of the tension is prison guard cruelty and brutality. Nobody really wins in the struggle but many die for their cause. "Brute Force" is a must-have for serious, movie fans. I recommend it.

Brute Force is truly one of the best films about prison life. Burt Lancaster heads an excellent cast that conveys a tale of the brutality of prison life and the desire to escape it. Hume Cronyn is chilling as the cruel and ambitious prison guard who tortures a prisoner while playing Wagner on a phonograph.

In the beginning you do not believe that one man is evil. But as the film progresses, you see how almost demonic he is. At the start, you get the impression that all the inmates are terrible, but the viewer becomes sympathetic with some off them. The story is very lifelike and believable. It is a fine film, and one 's interest is kept throughout its viewing.
