Mick finds himself having to raise his fists when company staff attack him. Mick is sent to one of the most dangerous prisons- Pleasant Hill Penitentiary, the death block. However, because Mick has deadly skills, he is approached by a pair of detectives seeking his help about a secret drug operation in the prison.
At first, Mick is hesitant but has a change of heart when he learns he could be rewarded with freedom. For those not aware, actor Robert Bronzi is well known for his likeness to the past actor Charles Bronson best known for the Death Wish franchise.
My answer is generally yes⦠and no. Escape from Death Block 13 is certainly a brainless film. As a plot, while familiar, it is fairly weak and simple.
Characters in this film are questionable, including the lead played by Robert Bronzi. Fellow prison inmates are cringe-worthy as they are either old, grey-haired blokes or buffed up muscle guys who seem dim-witted. Of course, this warden is attempting to keep secrets relating to the drug exchanges. The visual effects are hit and miss. Moments of fake backdrops are evident, but the film shines well with its blood and gunfire effects, mostly occurring in the third and final act.
Visually, sure, some basic and fun effects are on display here, including the action-packed finale, which is truly over the top and will deliver a level of entertainment no matter how cheesy it is.
