Papillon

Directed by Michael Noer

Wrongfully convicted for murder, Henri Charriere forms an unlikely relationship with fellow inmate and quirky convicted counterfeiter, Louis Dega, in an attempt to escape from the notorious penal colony on Devil's Island.
Papillon is a handsome prison drama about endurance, friendship and escape, led by committed performances from Charlie Hunnam and Rami Malek. Michael Noer’s remake cannot match the iconic status of the 1973 film, but it is physically convincing and emotionally solid.
