Has anyone mentioned _NO ESCAPE_ starring Ray Liotta? It has considerable
footage in the beginning set in (at least) one futuristic maximum security
prison and then the action is transposed to a prison colony where the most
incorrigible convicts are abandoned to a savage fight for survival among
warring factions, remotely supervised (electronically of course) by prison
authorities. A glimpse of the not-too-distant future? Utilizes many of the
classic themes/cliches of prison movies.
 
BTW has Liotta ever turned in performances up to the level of _GOODFELLAS_
(which incidentally also has some excellent prison scenes) or _RESERVOIR
DOGS_ (he's on parole)? Is he some kind of natural born gangster-actor?
