真的好惨
一个汉堡引发的悲剧，深刻地反应了美国当时的社会问题，最后那句“我去偷”真是讽刺至极啊。一个好人终被政府逼迫成为一名罪犯，沦为不良制度的牺牲品。除了剧本优秀以外，影片的节奏很棒。

铁链苦囚犹存
不可思议的前法典时代，伟大的结尾
男主前妻没有得到什么惩罚真的有点气人啊，当然男主一开始就不该和这个女房东纠缠不清，不过剧情设置，及时没有纠缠不清估计也会被人发现问题
结尾太让人伤感了，州政府的不作为造成了男主最后的悲剧，一个严格意义上不算恶人的人，并且对社会有大贡献的人就这么被毁了，唯一值得欣慰的事他的女朋友没有背叛他
电影反映的是一战和1865年美国宪法第十三修正案（废除奴隶制度和非自愿奴隶）背景下，产生的“铁链苦囚”（囚犯租赁）现象。
1932年的电影！！两次越狱，十分精彩。
＃年度十佳备选＃1932,3【B】7.9/10保罗穆尼同年主演了两部黑色电影佳作，《疤面人》里他的恶几乎原生态式地呈现，自负而自取灭亡；本片倒是另外一个极端，展示了志向远大优秀公民是如何一步步踏入深渊，最后在结尾发出凄厉怨毒的呐喊。议题依然是司法与人性，力度有余而陈述略显僵硬。保留了一部分默片的优势，比如两场逃狱戏中降格镜头的使用、身份牌与工作场景的交叉剪辑（建立在画面信息变动上）
你又不是宋江怎么能相信招安呢史书要多看几本呐也不至于跳进同一个火坑

愤世嫉俗的电影，男主就像是被人用画笔画地为牢的蚂蚁，好不容易挣脱这无形的牢笼，却一而再再而三的被人框住。结尾那句“我去偷”真是神来之笔。
