I saw this film when it was first released in UK.I thought it was a reasonable thriller. I remember the car chase with Newman driving a Ford van being pursued by the baddies in an old Mercedes, and they end up going over the cliff. I thought Newman must have done the driving stunts himself and was quite intrigued by the thought of such a big star driving an old van at such high speeds. The prison escape was very well staged and plausible and while the film has a violent edge to it, it never quite convinces as a memorable one. It draws you into it's plot but leaves you a little high and dry in between the action sequences. Worth seeing and maybe a DVD release with some location details would be good.
