4.0 out of 5 stars Michael Mann, 28 Nov 2008
By Brendan O. Clarke "brendoclarke" (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Michael Mann needs no introductions here in 2008 as he is currently the greatest living Director. Yes, i am correct. Just think about it- Heat, Last of the Mohicans, thief, Ali, Manhunter, Collateral, Miami Vice and the masterpiece The Insider.....do i really need to continue?

In 1979, Mann was an unknown entity in cinema. He cut his teeth on American TV until he directed this little gem - The Jericho Mile.

Made for TV, this is part gritty prison movie, part equally gritty fairytale (sympathetic killer obsessively runs to Olympic standard and why not?). It's generally upbeat without being excessively naive: the walls don't simply fall, and the optimism has to seep through a quasi-documentary context of racism and violence. It's really well acted by pros and inmates, crafted to manipulative perfection; and it beats Rocky every which way. See it and be entertained by the master film maker Mann.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre DVD production of a worthwhile film, 21 May 2009
A distinctly average, no-frills DVD transfer of Michael Mann's first feature film.

The picture (4:3) and sound are acceptable but no more. There is no root menu. The film plays on insertion in the player: the Dutch subtitles are automatic and have to be turned off, which is dependant on your having the correct options on your own hardware, given that there is no menu to use.

The film itself is an interesting document in the career output of director Michael Mann.
