Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

jimgerran-1 There is a completely new theory out there, I won't get into that, but that same Marshall is on the other story, It is way more believable than this one.Alcatraz, the search for truth.The Marshall looks 10-15 years younger in this, when I saw this available on Amazon Prime, it said it came out in 2017. I figured it was the same story. Then it went in a new direction, so not sure how this came out this late, and this close to the other story. (IMDB says 2015)Parts I think were true: * I do think they got away, as not one body, not one piece of clothe, nothing was found of them. Which by all accounts is rare. * I think the Alan West part of the story is true. * and I think the it not being a secret in the jail before it happened, is essentially true.BUT........my reason for saying this story is total non-sense, is there it would be impossible for 10-20 people to keep this a secret. For 50+ years, a Clint Eastwood movie about it, nuns, multiple prison guards, the uncle of the narrator, the family members that raised 60k (=$482k,, today), PLUS paid off the guards? Give me a break. IMO, that is enough.There were way too many people in on this, but also, why would you take a boat all the way to Seattle? If I was the getaway guys, I'd want to get them an hour or 2 up the coast, and get on land no where near SF. Not still be on a boat for the next day, or so. SF could've called the coast guard. Its 800 miles from SF-SEA, even if they had a boat that went 50 mph, it would take 16 hours.I hope I can edit and add later, as there were other things that didn't add up.

jessieanchor Another 'history channel' type documentary with small features of 'mocumentary' flashback. Wondered why I saw Danny Trejo's face - he narrated it (probably short of cash? - sorry Danny, just a bit surprised). Or maybe a personal favour to friends connected that he knows.It *did* raise a couple of interesting points though - the fact that a boat *could've* been off the harbour, that a tower was out (or had a restricted view), that some corners were cut by cutbacks, lax thinking etc.Also (although the final 'reveal' is something of a disappointment - the theory behind some of the alleged 'events' could be true. Such as above - also that Priests sometimes passed messages to family of the detained - even if just a grain of truth in that, it wouldn't take much for a message (however 'inert'/seemingly containing no information), could have/contain dates/position on, which would help the case of the boat enormously.Plus as does (the quick google search) revealing that a boat *was* claimed to be spotted by an off-duty police office that night.One other 'viable' (at least), if there was some $$$cash for the guards, it would've been awkward to distribute, and if somehow it was in the possession of the men (more likely, as they *did* have family) - therefore they did have something to be killed for.I wouldn't spend too much time digging up the 'football-pitch' size plot between trees though, and as above (probably c/w trees with 'fresh' rusty nails in) - and yes, where was the metal detector?!!

Michael_Elliott Alcatraz Prison Escape: Deathbed Confession (2015) *** (out of 4) Danny Trejo narrates this documentary that takes a look at what happened to the three convicts who escaped Alcatraz. This story is one of the greatest mysteries in American history and there have been countless theories over the year as to what happened.This film was released the same year as the slightly better ALCATRAZ: SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH. Both films featured FBI Marshall Arthur D. Roderick who has been on this case for several years now. If you've seen that special then you know what "ending" it gave for the three men who escaped. This documentary gives you a completely different ending so I won't ruin what it is.For the most part if you're a fan of these types of documentaries then you'll probably enjoy this one. I love certain subjects and Alcatraz is one of them so I will watch just about anything on it. The film manages to hold your attention as we've basically got a man on his deathbed confessing to his role in the escape. Again, I won't ruin what he did or what he claims happened but it is somewhat shocking and certainly much different than what most of these documentaries have shown.

khemmens-78186 Just One Word. METAL DETECTOR!. How could U.S. Marshalls go to an alleged grave site where the murderer said he buried horseshoes over the grave and not take a metal detector. I also like how on the day they first found the site they saw no nails in the trees and after a day where they sat in their hotel room and babbled about nothing of consequence they go back out to the grave site and lo and behold nails appear in the tree trunks. If this is the caliber of folks we have for U.S. Marshall's we're all in trouble except for crooks ad murderers. Let me close with these words; chicanery, skullduckery, flimflannery and outright FRAUD. Danny, bro I know you need the money but have enough dignity to lie a little more convincingly next time. I still gave it a 4 'cause it's Danny Trejo y'all.
