I have seen this film many years ago and I enjoyed it very much.It's the story of a man who escaped and then begins a long pursuit toward the Mexican border.
I don't need to present Kirk Douglas who died recently: he was a very brilliant actor !! John Schneider is a little less known that Kirk Douglas, I have seen him in comedies such as "The Rebound" (2009) , "You've got a friend" (2007) and "Snow Day"(2000).
So the performances of Kirk Dougla and John Schneider are very good, they gave to the film a great touch of suspense.
