Thanks for the memories!
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
The Jailbreakers is a well filmed but slight tale of criminal revenge that plays like a malnourished predecessor to Arch Hall's The Sadist. Three criminals (including a psycho gunman) are out for revenge against the man who ripped them off, three innocent civilians get wrapped up in the proceedings, and the picturesque ghost town used for filming virtually the whole picture looks great.
