Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Emma Faulkner I am a fugitive from a chain gang, directed by Mervyn LeRoy, is a look at how corrupt, and barbaric chain gangs were back then, during world war I. Godfrey was an innocent man and was unjustly thrown into the chain gang as a criminal. So he escapes and creates quit a life for himself in Chicago and becomes a very great architect, that when they find out who he is and that he escaped the chain gang, people fight for him to stay. Godfrey willingly goes back to the chain gang because he is assured that he will be released after a certain time. When he is not he escapes again. So even when Godfrey does the right thing time and time again, the chain gang basically forced Godfrey to turn into a criminal, because he had to escape again. I think this is an issue we still have in jails today. Sometimes the criminal justice system turns you into a criminal before you do anything wrong. It was filmed very well, and was made shortly after sound came out in films, and so the producer added many different sounds you hear throughout the film.

BrandyDeragon I really enjoyed this film. It was incredibly entertaining, and delivered an amazing message to its audience. Throughout the film you see a man's struggle to be free, you see him wrongfully thrown in jail, then he escapes, and once he tries to cooperate with the authorities, after living in freedom for many years, the justice system tricks him and he's locked up for the rest of his life. This was just a really sad but entertaining movie, the acting was incredible and very believable (at least for that time period) and the message Be careful who you trust was very clear. Because of the lack of technology making this film, the actors have static high pitched voices, but it helps with the entertainment value of the movie.

mleonardo60 The introduction of sound films in the late 1920s opened the door for many more possibilities in terms of storytelling. Also, it increased an actor's ability to portray a certain character.For example, on the first day of his job at the factory after returning from war, Paul Muni's character, James Allen hears explosions coming from bridge construction outside the building. When he jumps, it shows that he may be it may indicate that he is experiencing after effects of the war. Also the fact that he is so interested in this indicates that what he really wants to do is be in construction and create things, rather than working in the factory.Another excellent use of sound is when he escapes the chain gang, and he can hear the bloodhounds in the distance on his trail, but when he hides under the water they barking of the hounds becomes muffled or goes away completely.

ayreno The only saving grace of this film was the fact it was based on a true story. There was not one other thing I enjoyed about this film. I thought the acting was poor, and the movie definitely dragged on far longer than it needed to. Almost all of the characters annoyed me (especially the main character's brother), and as awful as this is to say, I spent the majority of the film hoping that he would be captured and sent back to prison, JUST so the movie would be over soon. However, when they filmed the main character underwater, I thought that was something that was very different and neat for that time period.
