- CuriosidadesThe "Emmet Foley" character is based on real life Christopher Calhoun (b.1934), an inmate of the Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee, Florida from 1956 to 1962. He moved to Los Angeles after his release and wrote about and became an activist for similarly abused people. In a more modern time he would have been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) because of his combat in Korea, which is depicted at the beginning of the film.

- Citações
Emmett Foley: I got one for you, Baker. There's these two goldfish, see, having this argument. And then one of them gets madder than hell. He gets so mad, he just swims away... and sits there for a long time in the corner of his goldfish bowl, sulking. And then all of a sudden, he gets this real smirky look on his face. So he sidles up to this other fish... and real smart-like, he says: 'Oh, good. If there's no God, then who changes the water?'

In 1955 Florida, Korean veteran Emmett Foley (Oldman) has a breakdown and is incarcerated in a "maximum security" mental health prison. Here he witnesses patients being abused and used.
One landed in the cuckoo's nest.
Intense incarceration based tale, Chattahoochee suffers due to a cliché riddled screenplay that can't hit the upper echelons of pics dealing with the "mismanagement" of mental health patients. Foley's attempts to expose the nightmarish conditions at the facility he is imprisoned in, keeps the viewer interested, as does his burgeoning friendship with Benson (Hopper) and the crashing of his relationship with the girl he loves outside (McDormand).
Ultimately, it's well performed by the principals, but staid in writing and direction to the point you end up hankering for the "greats" of the genre made previously. 6/10
