Reviews in German: «Auch Jahrzehnte nach seiner Stilllegung bietet der notorische Knast auf der Gefängnisinsel Alcatraz in der Bucht von San Francisco eine perfekte Kulisse für dynamische Action, in rasanter Videoclip-Ästhetik aufbereitet von den Hit-Produzenten Simpson/Bruckheimer ("Top Gun", "Con Air", "Armageddon"). Connerys Rolle als alternder Häftling war maßgeschneidert, Cage profilierte sich hier als Actionstar.
Unvergessen:
Sean Connery: "Ich bin schon länger im Gefängnis als Nelson Mandela. Willst du mich auch noch zum Präsidenten machen?" » (Cinema, 2000)

"Sinnfreie, aber hochexplosive Action" (TV Spielfilm 5/2006)
