The true-story finale is given away in the very beginning as if to implore the viewer to stick around to watch just how Adams manages to escape a maximum-security prison, but the final act feels rushed and unsatisfying.

Prison films are an underrated genre, and Pino’s film is a more than worthy addition to the great family of films that take place behind bars.

... It references the canon of prison escape films and allows space for Aubrey Joseph to ably interpret and invite us into Quawntay Adams’ inner life.

Aubrey Joseph gives a raw, powerful performance in Peacock's Bosco.

The title character generates hard-earned sympathy in this earnest prison drama, but his true-life saga of resilience and redemption is handcuffed by shallow characters and genre tropes.

Bosco isn’t attuned to any of the elements that would separate this story from a generic prison break film

Bad decisions lean to Bosco being locked up. He's escaped once can he do it again? There's more to this movie than an escape plan there's themes like freedom is a state of mind, enduring torture and hate for your overall well being….

Sentenced to 35 years for attempted possession of marijuana! How insane is that? You'd get much less for murder. The Americans must have had a frontal lobotomy to have devised a system that gave such a sentence.

Claustrophobic, uplifting and intense with excellent acting by Adams and Blonsky

I thought it was a carbon monoxide leak. Turns out it was just this incredibly stupid, boring movie that was putting me to sleep! Thanks Bosco for curing my insomnia.

Compelling drama with a strong performance from Aubrey Joseph and narrative mastery from writer/director Nicholas Manuel Pino. Both Tyrese Gibson and Vivica A Fox play roles that might mark successful next chapters in their careers.
