The originator of prison escape movies?

You must add the label of 1978 to evaluate this film fairly, because "Shawshank's Redemption" is too jewel in the front.
I like this dark but very textured picture, Turkey, Istanbul, full of ancient mystery Elements, the shots of several city glimpses are very fascinating. I
don’t know if this film is the originator of the prison escape film. The truthful depiction of the atrocities in the prison without a bit of cover, and the law is not fair enough, this kind of cruelty makes people suspect The rationality of the punishment.
Although it is good, it is inevitable to be distracted. After all, there are too many plots that seem familiar. But it must be said that the actors have played well, from the unruly youth with drugs to the first time in prison. The anger during the life-long imprisonment completely ruined the decadence and cowardice in the future, and the girlfriend's visit to the prison, alas...Every time period has a different performance, which is great.

    The script is a good one, and the actors show great acting skills, but the director's filming is too awkward, and there is always a sense of being out of place and abrupt.

    It's so tiring to watch, this is really not suitable for me to watch. . ([Movie Boy] 04. Midnight Express)
