What a strange movie,
This review is from: Convicts (DVD)
This movie we found kind of wierd the first time we watched. We watched again & it seemed to make more sense. Robert Duval, as always is great, the other actors do a fine job too, but movie plot is a bit strange for my taste. Ending somewhat disappointing too.

Convicts is a great movie,
By D. Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Convicts (DVD)
I bought this movie because I'm a Duvall fan. He is, in my mind, the American Olivier. I watched the movie once and turned around and watched it again, immediately. The setting, the interactions between Duvall's character (Old Soll) and those around him is an amazing window into a past era. Convicts has elements of being almost a stage playj. Convicts is a gem and another feather in the cap of our likely greastest living American actor.

Great film, great acting... a real "moment in time.",

This review is from: Convicts (VHS Tape)
Robert Duvall is a direct descendent of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, according the IMDb.com movie database. After seeing this film, you may think Duvall's appearance is reincarnation at it's best.One of my most favorite films. I wish the composer, Peter Rodgers Melnick had a CD or there was a soundtrack available. Wonderful scenery and music and "all too-true-to-life," especially for those of us that live in, or have moved to, the South. This is a "real moment in time." Life moves on, slowly, but "strangers we do not remain." 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful

One of my all time favorites,
By M. C. ELLIOTT "history hawk" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Convicts (DVD)
I saw this in the theaters and it just blew me away. Anything written by Horton Foote has incredible human intergrity (such as Tender Mercies or To Kill A Mockingbird, which he wrote the script for). This is not for folks with no attention span who require an explosion every few minutes. Just thoughtful, offbeat human drama. Simple and profound. Just a thing of beauty. He also wrote Habitation of Dragons and Alone, two fine pieces of work for those who appreciate rare human drama with intelligence and soul.
