"Jack Nicholson's finest hour. Featuring many up and coming stars. A harsh portrayl of life in a mental institution which control seems to be the answer to all psychiatric disorders."
"Philisophical Sci-Fi at its best. Posing many thought provoking questions about our interpretation of life combined with cutting edge computer effects which fit seamlessly into the film."
"Fantastic. Another Stephen King prison adaptation to film. Lengthy but fascinating with a great central character who you immediately feel for from start to finish."
"Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt star, in which has to be my favourite films of all time, can never tire of this, full of personalities which clash but all tinged with sadness."
"Some of the greatest dialogue ever. Not an action film, but an invitation into a dark almost obscure world of gangster mentality, over indulgent and served up as popcorn fodder."
"Ridley Scott's simplistic and frightening approach to the discovery of alien life. Claustrophobic to the end and quiet enough to hear your own heartbeat. Brilliant"
