Against the Wall

"Against the Wall"
Grace Fogel
In New York, 1971, the inmates of Attica prison took over the prison. After many years of living in horrible and unfair living conditions, the inmates had enough. The movie "Against the Wall", released in 1994, accurately represents what really happened with the taking back of the prison. The movie follows a prison guard, Michael Smith, who is based off of a guard who actually experienced the event. The inmates held hostages in order to negotiate their demands. The movie is an informational tv film.
All of the main character roles did a good job at playing their part. I thought the movie was average. I would give this movie a 3 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this movie to mature teenagers to adults. There are many violent scenes with harsh language and a few scenes that include male nudity. I would rate the movie R. If you are interested in action and drama movies, then this is the movie for you.
