I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The truly extraordinary thing is that the filmmaker has been able to give the same painful feeling of nightmare, anguish, that the book delivers. [Full Review in Spanish]

I quarrel with the production not because it is savage and horrible, but because each step in an inevitable tragedy is taken clumsily, and because each character responsible for the hero's doom is shown more as a caricature than as a person.

A moody, nasty-minded crime movie full of rage and anchored by some deep, moody visuals.

Based on a true story, its style is simple, direct, forceful -- even after more than six decades.

There's enough here to make I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang worthwhile, but its problems are deep enough to keep it a long way from sniffing greatness.
