In 1916, A group of prisoners plot their escape from the notorious fortress located in French Guiana.
Nothing quite oozes pure undiluted machismo like a down'n'dirty
low-budget guys in prison picture. Jim Brown hits it out of the
ballpark with his resolutely rugged portrayal of the tough and
determined Le Bras, who concocts a desperate plan to escape from the
hellish penal colony Devil's Island. Christopher George likewise
registers strongly as outspoken pacifist inmate Davert.
Director
William Whitney and writer Richard DeLong Adams bring an admittedly
crude, yet undeniably effective and entertaining kitchen sink pulpy
trash sensibility to the gripping premise: Besides the graphic and
unflinching depiction of the brutal conditions of life in prison, we
also have lots of rough'n'ready violence, a satisfying serving of tasty
bare female skin, and more than enough deliciously cheap thrills that
include sharks, lepers, a run-in with a tribe of savage natives (Brown
even gets it on with a hot native gal!), and relentless pursuit from
the police led by the vicious Major Marteau (a nicely slimy turn by
Paul Richards). Richard Rust makes for a perfectly hateful villain as
sadistic guard Sergeant Zamora while Richard Ely amuses as fey gay
thief Jo-Jo. Rosalio Solano's proficient cinematography vividly
captures the beautiful scenery. Les Baxter's robust score does the
rousing trick. Sure, it's pretty raw and anything but subtle, yet it
covers all the pleasingly scrappy dimestore drive-in cinema bases just
the same.
