Tubi Thursday: Escape from Death Block 13 (2021)

 A dead Action Star lives again...in the form of a Hungarian Man.

I've not seen a Robert Bronzi Film yet, so let's fix this before 2023 ends.

A man- Bronzi- goes to America to get, um, Death Insurance, I guess, from his Brother.

The Boss- Nicholas Toturro- won't pay out and frames him for some crimes...that he kind of committed, but for a good reason.
He's sent to Prison and must agree to work with the Feds to uncover a Drug Ring in said Prison.

Does he have a Death Wish or something?
Well, the place is corrupt.  A corrupt Prison, eh?
Science Fiction!

He finds some cliche Friendly Prisoners- since Murderers are nice chaps.
Can he survive his time there?
Can he save the day?

Will he ever learn to emote or deliver a line well?

To find out, stream it now.
A dead man lives...and he acts about as well as the real Bronson would these days.  Sorry, Robert.

Look- if someone thought that I looked like a dead Actor, flew me to Hungary and asked me to act in Hungarian, I'd be pretty shit too.

The Plot is nothing special.  Does it do anything new or interesting?

Well, the Lead Muscle turns out to be a good guy by the end.
That's...about it.

I will say that they have a few bits of decent Action Scenes with fist fights.  They are less successful when they try to mix in gunfights, which they had to shoot against green screens.

They used the Prison from Shawshank Redemption, which doesn't always make your Film better.

If you want to see Bronzi in action and don't care about the Story, watch this.  If you're more discerning and/or not curious, then skip it.

Sorry, Charlie.

Bummer- the Film isn't good.  Bronzi is a sight to behold, but not for 80+ minutes.
