I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Exaclty brutal and stupid were the people in the nineties in my neighbourhood -so I loved the movie back then-because I felt like I could free myself like Ally in this film. And the clothes poorer townpeolpe were wearing was typically for the nineties...black manlike trousers and Shirts and Pullovers for the women..etc...Poor it is-but this film told a romantic Story about my stupid and Long lost neighbourhood. I knew all the types of guys you can find in this film...really..and I was Ally Sheedy with the fake black Ray Ban...and in my neurotic state of mind I was dreaming of a man like David in this movie...which indeed is a bit unrealistic-since I learned in psychotherapy you will not find bad guys getting nice.... It may be that nobody will need such a film-today-but when understanding the sometimes very odd 90ties and what it meant to live with violent and strange people back then-this film is a unique lesson !1994 being 18 and something under 30... was exactly like in this film !By the way the Music in this film was excellent !!!Even nowadays !!!

David Carradine stars as a prisoner who protects a vulnerable Ally Sheedy from a corrupt prison warden (played by, of course, Charles Napier) who is out to exact vengeance on Sheedy for the murder of a prison guard trying to rape Sheedy, once again it is up to Carradine to protect her and provide us lucky audiences with a romance subplot between the ancient Carradine and the fairly old Ally Sheedy. Back in the 80's, Sheedy was a brat-packer that like Molly Ringwald, went absolutely nowhere after the decade closed. Following her other co-star Judd Nelson's route, she started making B.movie fodder such as this and this is probably her and David Carradine's most high profile movies in quite some time. By that of course, I mean that it was the only new David Carradine movie you could rent at your local video store because the last one I saw was the dreadful Kill Zone and that was of course sad, since David Carradine is a fairly good actor. Oh and unlike most movies with David Carradine it actually was on Cinemax everyday when it came out, So I was able to tape it and watch it. The movie breaks no real ground as it basically is the elderly version of Bonnie and Clyde. However I do like the fact that Carradine at 60 is still doing these type of movies because few actors are as effortlessly likable as David Carradine. The movie itself rarely deviates from formula but for Carradine fans, this was the best movie he starred in, in the 1990's. True story, sad as it is.* * out of 4-(Fair)

I was expecting something like Andy Griffith's "Coweta County" and this film came pretty close... mindless trashy fun that requires suspension of disbelief to get a hold of.This film starts out like Neil Simon. Not quite up to his stellar quality, mind you. But it is like the "Out of Towners" where things go downhill. The rape was gratuitous and makes one wonder if all Southern cops are corrupt? I was thinking of the line from "My Cousin Vinny" about them all being corrupt and sleeping with their sisters.Carradine graduated from this to "Kill Bill" but what happened to Ally Sheedy?

OH MY--Ally Sheedy and David Carradine, shame on you for taking money to be in this poorly made movie. I actually laughed during this whole film, it was a hoot.Three things that cracked me up and stood out were when the cop during the hold up scene at the gas station kept saying, "I told you about that language", when that cop and gas station man have a fender bender and they both blow up in a ball of flame, and during the shoot-out at the trailer, when the young hottie trailer trash babe is hunkered down a moth flies near her mouth and she blows it away...and they left it in the final print!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH--I was rolling on the floor.I REALLY hope the director of this movie had nothing to do with the poor shots and composition, the infantile editing and poorly placed transitions, and the awful sound problems.Macon County Jail has to be one of the WORST films of all time.
