B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - GULAG (TV 1985)

This month B-Movie Gazette dives into the prison genre and who doesn't like a good prison flick? Gulag is an extremely well-produced TV movie originally made for HBO before wandering out to obscurity-land. David Keith is in top form as a sportscaster and while covering an event in Moscow is framed by the KGB. Unable to prove his innocence a prison escape is now inevitable, just how will he do it? Malcolm McDowell co-stars, this is a good one folks! 2.75 stars/2.75

RAY LIOTTA PASSES AT 67, BUMMER! - HERE'S ONE OF HIS LESSER KNOWN PERFORMANCES AS AN UNDERCOVER COP IN "TICKET OUT" (2012)

 

Alexandra Breckenridge stars as a battered wife trying to keep her and her kids from an abusive husband played excellently by Billy Burke. She hooks up with the underground railroad by calling a phone number slipped to her and "Jim" played by Liotta shows up. A sort of road trip journey and chase follows. She's unaware that he's also an undercover cop but it won't be for long. Will they make it to the airstrip up north that'll take them to Canada or will the husband find her?

What I would call a serviceable thriller or "a good 2-star movie" Nice one for weekend mornings. Streams free on Tubi.  2.5 stars/5
