Christian Science Monitor
Davison gives one of his many bravura performances in this 1977 adaptation of Miguel Pinero's hard-hitting play. - 70
TV Guide Magazine
The ensemble is a tight one that places the audience right in the middle of the nightmare. - 50
Village Voice
Confrontational for its time yet paltry next to any episode of "Oz," Piñero's slim moral quandary is stocked with glib sermonizing and unfocused characterizations, but Robert M. Young's firmly anchored direction creates an appropriate chamber ambience. - 20
Film Threat
Fans of prison flicks would do better to catch the HBO series "Oz" or the five millionth rebroadcast of "The Shawshank Redemption."
