Reading some of these previous reviews is quite interesting in that in some of the critiques there is so much speculation as to what really happened to Billy Hayes in Turkey and what's a product of the Hollywood movie/money making machine. I've even read other reviews where some viewers are debating with others about foreign prisoner policies or lack of,etc.,etc. Only the real Billy Hayes knows how much info he has told the public. Some critics see his time spent in Turkey prison as a period of martyrdom. While others just remember his act that got him there in the first place as moronic. All I want to do is review this movie based on,well, the movie itself...No political debates, questions, agendas or issues here.
