Blissful ignorance

Had there not been the 1973 Papillon film with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman, this (with Charlie Hunnan and Rami Malek) would have been more than alright. I just can't get away from comparing between these two and, frankly, there's no way whatsoever the new one stands the comparison. Somehow I'm still glad they did it, it was interesting to see it, a decent enough an attempt.
