I was a kid when this came out, and it had a big effect on me--enough of an effect that I made it a point to see every Michael Mann film in the theater or on TV or streaming... but yes I have seen them all. Without spoiling anything, the acting is great, and the exploration of in prison life--it was the first time I saw a movie that seemed like it might be more introspective. Many movies involving prison scenes are comical or OTT etc. The writing and people feel genuine. Main leads Richard Lawson and Peter Strauss are excellent. There is one scene that amazed me--Peter Strauss character is in canteen/dining hall of the prison and other inmates who in prior scenes who were dismissive or threatening etc leave him food as they walk by his table--not the crap but the food that is what everyone wants more of... milk, bananas... the good stuff. Not sure why but it was very touching. Made for TV, and a an excellent story.
