CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Paul Bastien Bought this BluRay on a recommendation from a friend. Watched it with my girlfriend, Missy, and can say both were frightened by this film because it seemed so real.We live near a penitentiary where inmates have escaped in the past. This movie brings the story so close to home that we are both thinking of moving!! LOL. Just kidding, I'm brave.I'll protect my sweetie any day against anyone. Except maybe against this Purcell guy : he is insane times 10!! Don't wanna give the story away but run like heck if this dude is on a rampage! Money well spent, Enjoy!!P.S. Don't want to p*ss off my missy, but the girls in this movie are easy on the eyes!
Rick Thibodeaux Always check before rating to see if the actors are good. They pass the test in this movie. Dominique Purcell excels as the villain and so does that Evangelista chick. Both very believable because of their talent and the well written script! Also cool to see Faith Ford who graced our TV screens over the years with her talents and beauty!!I see her husband, Campion Murphy wrote and directed Escapee: nice job!! You hit one out of the park, Buddy! I'm not into giving spoilers here so look out for the different well placed twists and turns in the plot. The cover is scary: that's what made me buy it at Walmart!! Overall I give it a 9 out of 10..
gavin6942 This film hardly deserves a solid, serious review. We have Dominic Purcell as a man who is locked up and one day sees a student on a field trip and apparently becomes obsessed with her. He breaks out ,and begins tracking her down.Now, first of all, I feel bad that Purcell is involved in a "prison break" film, because he should really be trying to move away from such things. But anyway, he is the best part of this train wreck of a film. The plot is convoluted, it just seems to go where it wants... they could have had a violent psychopath killing people or a teen slasher, but it seems like they wanted this and something a bit more intelligent -- a combination they were not ready to pull off.This is not the worst film I have seen this year, and probably not the worst film I have seen this month... but I would strongly advise people to watch just about anything else.
manjodude OK, I found the poster promising, so I bought this DVD.Initially it seemed to keep upto my expectation with the creepy opening scene of the psycho leaving his victim as a trophy in the woods. Also, for a few more scenes, the suspense & the tension does not drop. I braced myself for the next strike from the madman. I braced, I braced and I braced. And that's all I was doing! Soon the movie moved tediously. Seems the killer decides to stalk his victims at his own sweet pace(much to our madness!) while our pretty girls jump at every Tom, Dick & Harry noise out there! And there are certain "exposing" conversations between our characters that's supposed to shock or keep us glued to what's happening but instead confuses us as they don't make any sense. If they could have done away with these unnecessary dialogs, the story could have been more engaging to me.I appreciate the performances(at least some) though like Dominic Purcell as the psycho. His glaring looks & cold body language did decent justice to his character. Even Evangelista as Abby did pretty well. Rest of the actors were average.It's just a movie but at the end of the day, I still wish the plot had made more sense.Verdict: Learn from my mistake and escapee far away from this movie!
