Is the new Papillon more violent than the original?
"You're under arrest for the murder of Roland Legrande."
You better believe it.
In this intense prison remake, a wrongly convicted man serving time in an island jail refuses
to be broken or stop trying to escape.
"There's no way off."
"There's always a way."
The violence here is off the charts.
We're talking brutal and bloody realistic fistfights, stabbings, and beatings.
Plus there's an attempted rape, a disembowelment, and a beheading.
The swearing is constant throughout, too, with plenty of F-bombs and the S-word.
For even more iffy stuff, expect to see lots of naked men and women,
including brief male frontal nudity.
"If I ever got out, I'm going to live a different kind of life."
Common Sense says Papillon is OK for teens 16 and up.
