An innocent fisherman confesses to a murder to protect a friend who he believes did it. He tries to serve his prison sentence and leave, but another prisoner provokes him and his stay is lengthened. This other man plans and begins to execute a prison break, but is stopped by the main character, earning his parole. He faces trouble finding a job because nobody wants to hire a paroled prisoner. Eventually, he begins to meet the men with whom he served time as they are let out of jail as well.
I know I gave away lots of the plot, but it seemed like it needed to be that way to communicate what happens in the film. The audio and video contained no annoying artifacts, but really showed their age anyway. I thought that the plot and characters were decent and the pacing seemed right. It was, however, a little lacking in the style department. It just wasn't very memorable or special in any way. I'm rating it adequate because it's an alright movie with no real problems. This also says something about what I've watched: I've seen so many disasters that just not having anything wrong with it gets a film this positive type of review.
