Quentin Tarantino Takes a Second Look at “Escape from Alcatraz”

Posted on by

Quentin Tarantino’s first line had me hooked…

Escape from Alcatraz, a film I didn’t like when it came out…

Why was Tarantino writing about a film he didn’t like?  Sure, it starred Clint Eastwood and was directed by Don Siegel, but Tarantino didn’t like it and it wasn’t one of my favorite Eastwood films either.

Ah, but when Tarantino revisited it a few years ago, he gained a greater appreciation for it.

Ok Quentin, tell me more.

And he does in his overview of Escape from Alcatraz.  If you click over and read it, you’ll not only get the backstory of Escape from Alcatraz, you’ll also learn about the connection to Charles Bronson, Burt Reynolds and more.  It’s an interesting read and has made me want to re-visit Eastwood in Escape from Alcatraz.  Maybe I’ll like it as much on review as Quentin Tarantino.
