According to IMDB this was shot on the Red One. They managed to make it look a lot like HD video.

Anyway it's a welcome return from Mel Gibson, who is back in full wise cracking action star mode. The film keeps a good pace, there's a lot of bloodshed (so many grenades!) and it revels in how morally corrupt the entire affair is. And thankfully the plucky kid is great, not annoying.

The whole concept of this prison community is something I've never seen before, it's a great place to build  what would otherwise be another pretty typical crime action comedy. It also allows for a nice big raid and stand-off for the climax. Expect a lot of gunplay with nice juicy squib hits.

There's not much more to say about it, on the whole, very entertaining slightly grungier style of an early 90's action comedy.
