Overview:

A prison drama which focuses on guards rather than prisoners and which reeks of a sort of late-1960s, counter-culture existentialism, pic seems oddly out of time and place. Producer-director-writer James B. Harris, hasn’t really pulled it all together into a meaningful finished work.

Description

Truly a forgotten masterpiece from the criminally underrated James B. Harris. James Woods stars as corrupt prison guard Frank "Fast-Walking" Miniver who becomes involved in a plot to murder a black revolutionary in his prison, while also conspiring to help him escape. Like in his 1988 masterpiece Cop, Harris is an expert at placing the viewer firmly in the point of view of the garish world of Wood's perpetually stoned Fast-Walking. This is a man who spends most of his time working in the prison smoking joint after joint, and coming up with scam after scam. He also works as a pimp at a small brothel populated by Mexican labourers.
