"Papillion'' Academy Award Winner Rami Malek Stars Preview Movie that also stars Charlie Hunnam. This film is a remake of the 1973 film starring Dustin Hoffman and Steve McQueen.  Now, who could possibly compare to this duo? So I skipped over this movie several times. The Hollywood reviews as this picture came out in 2017 were not terrific and advice was not to see the original if you were going to see this film. In my humble opinion, this movie was a sleeper. It showed the great acting abilities of both Malek and Hunnam. I highly recommend this movie 

 

 

It is a very sad story a true story of a forger Louis Dega and a man known as Papillion who was framed for murder. Both French were sentenced in 1933 to a prison camp in South America  French Guiana in deplorable conditions. Papi knowing that Louie is a millionaire befriends and protects him. They form a close kinship. One who had the means to bribe and the other street smarts to know who and when.

 

 

Papi only wanting to escape from these inhumane conditions would try to convince Louie to join him. Ending in Papi being sentenced to Devils Island. This horrid tale continues and if this tragic tale for those that have never seen the original interests you please watch it. For those who have seen the original, I believe you will not be disappointed 

 

 

The acting in this motion picture I thought was surreal. I strongly disagree with many of the reviews. This movie brought tears to my eyes in fact I cried. Rami Malek showed his strong acting abilities in this film. I also thought Charlie Hunnam was surreal. I think we will see more serious Academy Award roles for these up and coming young actors.

 

 

You can watch "Papillion" if you have Amazon Prime for Free

You may get lucky and find it on YouTube if you do not have Prime 

"Papillion" is a true story

This is not a new story I was not even aware of the release Alexandra happened to it by accident on Amazon Prime. I was so moved by the acting by these two new and upcoming actors. An older movie with a new twist really worth watching. The weather here is coming in like a Lion so many may be staying in

I loved watching Bohemian Rhapsody with Rami Malek.  I can only imagine that his role in Papillon will be equally terrific.

Hello Hannah - thanks for sharing this "movie find".  I thought Rami Malek did a terrific job as Freddy Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.  I had never heard of him previous to the Queen movie.  It will be interesting to see his upcoming choices after the Oscar win.

Hi Hannah... I'm ashamed to admit that I cannot remember the last time I was at a movie... in fact, this year I had no clue about any of the movies or actors up for awards... missed them all!

Myrl Jeffcoat , This is an older movie made before his Academy Award 

George Souto  No need to go out to see this movie it is available to rent or if you have Amazon Prime can see it for free.

Hello, Michael Jacobs,  I have been a fan of this young actor Rami Malik. I agree there will be many new movie opportunities for him. This 2017 remake of "Papillion" I never was of it hitting the big screen so alas only was able to see it on cable.

I hope you enjoyed the preview

 Endre Barath, Jr.  This movie will be available on Amazon Prime until March 5th for Free then who knows what cable network will pick it up.  I hesitated in watching it as who could compare to the original movie. I will say I enjoyed every 135 minutes of this movie and also thought Charlie Humman was surreal. Hope you get a chance to watch it. 

Hope you enjoyed the trailer

Grant Schneider certainly a sad story of the hardships that were afflicted on men by other men. A very emotional movie 

Nina Hollander  No worries you can see this movie on cable no need to go to the movies.  It is a remake  the original characters were played by Dustin Hoffman and Steve Mcqueen who gave unbelievable performances 

Hope you enjoyed the preview

Hannah, this is my first time seeing your reviews. I enjoyed your take on it as I really loved the original movie, and will now have to add this new remake to my "must watch" list. 

Charlie starred in Sons of Anarchy, which takes place in a fictional town called Charming just outside of Lodi, CA.  And guess where I live?  Yep...Lodi, CA.   ;-)

Randy Elliott  How awesome. If you have Amazon Prime it is still on there. I also loved the original what a classic. I do love classic movies and can watch them over and over. Amazing how some films makers from way back can capture your mind. They were way ahead of their time. 

Never watched Sons of Anarchy but my daughter was a big fan. Charlie was great in this film. Have seen him in a few but now I am a fan.

Thanks so much for watching  hope to see more of you
