Rating:  - Actors and Taut Direction Make this one a Stand Out!
CRASHOUT might come as a surprise to crime film fans or noir
enthusiasts who pick it up, expecting a routine mid-50s B movie. For
one thing, it's feature-length (89 minutes), and doesn't skimp much on
plot and character development. Director Lewis R. Foster was probably

Rating: - Crashout: top notch prison breakout film!
Sure, we've seen the escaped convicts formula before, but this one hits home. Here is a real diversity of the six characters; each one as convincing as the next.

My personal favorite, film veteran Arthur Kennedy, excels as the counterpoint to Bendix: he excels as the white collar criminal with a brain, and ultimately, a heart. Fine dialogue, plenty of action, and even a little romance thrown in. A winner!
