The Escape Audience Reviews

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
ds380 I saw this film a long time ago in Ukraine, and it deeply impressed me. I am still remembering that impression and trying to find a copy of the film in English to review it. The film is about clean and natural love, about deepest trust based on feelings, not knowledge, about one day in the life which is worth of tens of regular, common and primitive lives - whether they are spent in prison or at large.The comment is finished, so, please, ignore the rest.I have to continue writing something to collect enough lines of text to get the one posed :). OK, I'm having no problems with tricking this system :). Hope the moderator will forgive me do it, as well.
frag_the_limit The title does not match the story much, since there is 15 minutes of Clayton escaping from a mad policeman and the police force then for the rest of the hour he manages to end up in a house when it was pouring down.Later on he meets some girl, they talk about their dreams after talking for over an hour morning came police raided the house Clayton runs to a nearby dam does a Peter Pan like the fugitive and gets shot.After all that is this even an escape movie or him talking about his dreams with a young musician about opening a club called the cage also some other questions are "what happened to that cop".
Wizard-8 One reviewer commented that the movie didn't know if it was an action movie, or an exploration of the minds of prisoners. That about sums it. There's not much action in this prison escape movie, which spends a great deal of time talking about the greatness of poetry, reading poems, or having B&W fantasies about owning a nightclub where people can read poetry. It's as ridiculous as it sounds. The movie seemed like it was going nowhere, and at the end, that's where it was. You'll be asking yourself at that point, "What was the point of all of this?"
Oreo Bridgette Bako is the one ray of light in this predictable movie line. An amazing beauty!
