Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly
Flashbacks are used to enable the injection of love interests, but the still claustrophobic action and escape attempt make for an explosive climax.

Outdated prison film.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Rating: 4/5 --
Producer Joan Harrison, who seems to have profited from a long association with Alfred Hitchcock, and Director Irving Pichel have created mounting suspense which comes to a distinctly surprising and explosive climax as the jury brings its verdict.

New York Times
Rating: B+ --
Starring Burt Lancaster and cast against type Hume Cronyn, Dassin's first foray into noir is one of the bleakest and most powerful crime prison melodramas ever made, an existential chronicle that also serves as an allegory of American society at large

The escape sequence has the spatial intricacy of the heist in Dassin's Rififi, but the tone is tougher, bleaker, and more suspenseful.

Chicago Reader
Bristling, biting dialog by Richard Brooks paints broad cameos as each character takes shape under existing prison life.

Product Description:
Joe Collins, an inmate of Westgate prison, schemes with a group of convicts to breakout. He's intent on reaching his love, who does not know he's in prison but will not have a lifesaving operation until he's at her side. The escape plan goes awry when Capt. Munsey, the prison guard and Joe's enemy, gets a tip-off and greets them in a machine-gun shoot out.
