This is a pretty good movie. You can tell by the imaqe quality that this was a low budget movie. The story however is a good one.- The acting is a little cheesy especially by Leon Isaasc Kennedy but the story is pretty good. There are also plenty of humorous scenes that will have you laughing. For the budget it had to work with it made a very nice profit for the movie maker. I highly recommend.

Before this Bluray release, "Penitentiary" was available from Xenon. Very nice picture quality, but non-anamorphic. This Bluray from Vinegar Syndrome is a big deal to those who love this "grindhouse" classic! This one and "Ganja & Hess" made cinema history back in the 70's, as they were the first black "arthouse" films to be made. One of the most brutal and realistic prison movies, as well as one of the finest boxing movies ever, this Bluray looks great. Some scenes are somewhat high on grain, but that is to be expected with such an old and low budget production. Most scenes are bright and razor sharp though. A must have for fans of boxing films. Also recommended, "Black Fist," another sensational boxing movie from the same golden era.. "Penitentiary" is unfortunately followed by a lousy sequel.Read full review
