The Slams (1973)


MGM
Directed by Jonathan Kaplan
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)
(Turner Classic Movies)

Jim Brown goes to prison after stealing drugs and millions from the mob. Inside, he deals with racially aligned gangs, predatory homosexuals and a member of the mob who wants the money and drugs back. Outside, his girlfriend is harassed for the same reason. He concocts a daring escape plan but needs help to pull it off. Potentially interesting drama shot inside a real California prison is marred by excessively repellent acts of violence.
