Papillon
Recommended3/4 · Good. I would recommend it, with the caveats in the review.
A true story prison escape movie that does not disappoint, remake of the 1973 classic that holds up quite well. It's a story about wasted lives and years spent in solitude. Sad and depressing but also a deep look into solitude, wasted lives and the determination of man.
