Murder in the first
Muder in the First
I thought it was going to be a murder-detective movie. Wasn't expecting anything heavier than that. When the movie started with Kevin Bacon naked in the isolation cell in a Prison, sure they mentioned that it is Alcatraz, but I didn't pay attention to that and was still expecting some investigation about why Kevin in prison to start. It slowly got into my thick head that it was a different kind of movie. I had to switch off for that day, make myself ready for some heavy stuff and then I watched it the next day.
Kevin Bacon
Gary Oldman
Chritian Slater
The handsome Christian slater as handsome lawer though is a glamour factor, he does act very well, it is not that he is not an actor, it is just because, in front of Gary oldman, Kevin Bacon and the likes, Chritian Slater should have been a glamour factor when they selected the cast (imo, ofcourse). But he was very comptetent. Gary Oldman is subdued. But, the director gets the impact of his character just by his presence. He didn't have to do anything. You just know that it is Gary oldman as the Prison warden, you feel terrified of him.
It is Kevin Bacon's movie. Absolutely marvellous. Not a bit of overdoing was my favourite note of his acting. His portrayal of a man from isolation in Alcatraz prison is absolutelty beyond sane acting.
I don't know whether Siraichalai (Kala Pani in Hindi) of Priyadharsan was inspired from this movie. Although not a copy, it reminds the central theme.
Murder in the first is based on a true story.
Christian Slater looks adorable and 100% that time guy in B/W scenes.
Must watch. Heavy stuff.
A good review in another site.
Just have got couple of complaints:
1) Court scenes could have been better
2) A man kept in isolation cell showing heavy symptoms of its effect, retaining his sane behaviour though just some of them, was unconvincing.
