    Tom Selleck is forced to get TOUGH to survive in prison, when he is framed for murder. He doesn't look good in blue, and looks better in Hawaiian shirts as Magnum P.I. It's a bit scary when anybody as nice as Tom Selleck can get sent to prison. The scene where the guards take awa...( read more)y his wedding ring was sad. F. Murray Abraham helps him get even against a nasty gang of cons. Once Tom gets out of prison, he has real "conviction" to go after the bad cops who framed him, with a great ending scene. Not the most exciting film, but it has some unintentionally funny scenes.

    Rather clumsy prison flick that is yet more proof that Tom Selleck does not have the star presence to carry a project beyond the small screen. F Murray Abraham provides some dramatic gravitas, but it just feels so "straight to video".

    Lame and predictable.

    Excellent movie and F Murray Abraham probably has the best part in the whole movie.

    This is a decent thriller. A man framed for a crime and then must clear his name. Tom Selleck does a good job in this film.

    i felt bad for him at first, because he shouldn't have been there. the time soon came that he had to man-up

    Tom Selleck and his Mustache get sent to jail courtesy of 2 corrupt cops. Time is served and served Hard, especially when Selleck becomes a Prime "Bitch" candidate for the residant Big Black dude.... Execellent Prison / Revenge Film
