Better than the reviews led me to believe
Very moving film. Should have been longer to keep the continuity. I’d probably watch again but the original is far superior in terms of atmosphere and drama.

Description
Originally billed as “the greatest escape in history”, PAPILLON is a gritty, intense remake of the 1973 classic film.
From the producer of The Wolf of Wall Street, this remarkable true story stars Charlie Hunnam and man-of-the-moment Rami Malek.
PAPILLON follows the story of Henri “Papillon”, a petty criminal wrongly convicted of murder in 1930’s France and given a life sentence in the notorious colony on Devil’s Island. Whilst there, Papillon meets convicted murderer Louis Dega who agrees to help his escape in return for protection.

Better than i expected
It's not the original, get over it.
This film has merit in it's own right, thankfully it has not just remade the classic, and it benefits from that. Gritty and well acted.
Well worth watching.

That sketch....
This remake is very bad... The original clearly shines above as this re-interetation is badly acted with a terrible script and sequence.
Our highlight of horror was that portrait by Rami Malek "the artist" terrible particularly as it was done in ANIME style!

Interesting
Good movie with a interesting true story to it. When I watched the trailer I didn’t think much of it but actually got very good and Charlie Hannan portrays a good main character

Nowhere near as good
Nowhere near as good as the original. Not engaging at all, and the on screen presence and gravitas is not a patch on Hoffman and McQueen.

Poor, poor, poor
Don’t waste your money on this. This is just another attempt to remake an old classic.
If you want to enjoy this story, watch the original with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman
