earpmorgan This is not a bad movie. It's just an Aussie version of Conair. The actors in this movie are good. I like the old prison site and real ex convicts being used per authenticity. I think the script could have been a little more original. I liked some of the scenes filmed near Sydney.
philipcook98 It was OK but nothing to write home about,I wouldn't run to family/friends to say its a must see !! Did anyone notice a few of the scenes,one part was him being beaten by the guards then washed with a power hose,with the guard saying to the other "what's the matter,don't like water" same scene in Rambo,First blood. Watch out for a couple of others during the movie,if you've watched a lot of movies in the 80's & 90's you'll notice them easily. If you have anything better to do,then do. This would be OK if your stuck inside on a rainy day with nothing to do,Its OK I suppose but don't rush.If your a real prison film type,then you'll enjoy it.The guy "ray" is good in his role but some of the giants he's fighting a bit far fetched.
boc321 I really enjoyed this movie. A man goes to prison for accidentally killing someone and has a very tough time in the clink due to the warden receiving a bribe to make it so. As with most films there are plot holes. Firstly, as it was self defence due to managing to avoid a knife attack he should never have gone to prison in the first place. Next, the warden could have blamed the guards death on him instead of some other inmate.Putting those things aside I really liked the fight scenes and the way Ray deals with gang politics. All the things you want to say and do in real life would be suicide but Ray steps up and if he wasn't released would definitely be a gang leader like it or not. Its a prison film so you see a fair amount of gory violent scenes where inmates are murdered. which in itself makes you never want to be in a place like that. Loved it.
Manwell Facciol After seeing the Trailer for George Basha's new movie Convict i was excited hoping it would be just as good or even better than his previous movie The Combination which i loved. But boy was i disappointed, the acting, camera work,and story was a joke. To me it was an exact replica of Sylvester Stallones movie Lock Up which may i say is one of my favourite movies. It was pretty much an hour and a half of my life that i will never get back that's how bad this movie was, very disappointing when thinking a movie being written and starring George Basha is to definitely be a good one after his movie The Combination which was a great success. There was no thought in making this movie at all, sorry George Basha but hopefully you can prove me wrong next time.
