I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I love movies and TV shows that have to do with run away criminals and jail. I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932) really satisfied my interests in that. As one of the earlier films with sound, it was done very well. I think the explosions that James Allen hears from the factory were well done in a sense that after he hears it, he looks so disappointed and the audience can see how much he rather work on bridges than be at the shoe factory. My favorite scene was when he was running away and had to hide underneath the pond water while the guards were standing in the water looking around for him. In that scene the movie did a great job with the sound by having it be silent when they showed James under the water and then having it be noisy when they switched to showing the guards looking for him, it successfully created an intense moment for the viewers. At the end of the movie when he escapes for a second time and runs into his wife Linda, the lighting when they show James' face when he tells his wife that he is going to steal to survive, really shows how his character changed from being a good person to a bad person.

I really enjoyed this film. It was incredibly entertaining, and delivered an amazing message to its audience. Throughout the film you see a man's struggle to be free, you see him wrongfully thrown in jail, then he escapes, and once he tries to cooperate with the authorities, after living in freedom for many years, the justice system tricks him and he's locked up for the rest of his life. This was just a really sad but entertaining movie, the acting was incredible and very believable (at least for that time period) and the message Be careful who you trust was very clear. Because of the lack of technology making this film, the actors have static high pitched voices, but it helps with the entertainment value of the movie.

The introduction of sound films in the late 1920s opened the door for many more possibilities in terms of storytelling. Also, it increased an actor's ability to portray a certain character.For example, on the first day of his job at the factory after returning from war, Paul Muni's character, James Allen hears explosions coming from bridge construction outside the building. When he jumps, it shows that he may be it may indicate that he is experiencing after effects of the war. Also the fact that he is so interested in this indicates that what he really wants to do is be in construction and create things, rather than working in the factory.Another excellent use of sound is when he escapes the chain gang, and he can hear the bloodhounds in the distance on his trail, but when he hides under the water they barking of the hounds becomes muffled or goes away completely.

The only saving grace of this film was the fact it was based on a true story. There was not one other thing I enjoyed about this film. I thought the acting was poor, and the movie definitely dragged on far longer than it needed to. Almost all of the characters annoyed me (especially the main character's brother), and as awful as this is to say, I spent the majority of the film hoping that he would be captured and sent back to prison, JUST so the movie would be over soon. However, when they filmed the main character underwater, I thought that was something that was very different and neat for that time period.
