Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Riot suffers in the most essential area of any action picture: organization of the action. Good action movies do not consist simply of movement, violence, physical contact and adventure. They have to be strongly plotted. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews For entertainment value give me those Cagney prison flicks any day.

delysid d high quality prison film with Gene Hackman Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/30/18 Full Review Audience Member I thought this film was great. Nice pacing and an excellence suspense. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member It's weird that what started out as a boring movie ended up getting better & better as it went along.My only complaint was that I loved the way it ended but I hated it as well.You'll just have to watch Riot to find out what I mean.I also could've done without seeing the prison party but I guess thats what you do for fun during a prison riot Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a lot of rioting going on here, mostly its a bunch of sitting around and waiting for violence. A real shame considering the potential for some serious prison rage from Jim Brown and Gene Hackman. But temperatures never get close to a boil and the film just meanders to its conclusion. I did dig Brown's swimming pool dream sequence, but it was over too quickly. VF. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
