Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Steineded How sad is this?
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
tlarraya I´m afraid I found this disappointing, slow and boring.
dilsonbelper Utter rubbish.... poor acting, poor direction, same old same old storyline glorifying thugs and murderers
The Couchpotatoes Maze is a movie based on the biggest prison escape in Europe. A prison escape of 38 IRA members, a movie on how they planned and executed it. Even though the entire movie is in prison you really never have a dull moment. I doubt that there was not more tension between the Loyalists and the IRA members, like they portray it in this movie, but all in all it was not really about the hate towards eachother but more about the planning of the escape out of this maximum security prison. The cast was good, all the actors did what they were supposed to do. Maze is an entertaining movie that could have used a bit more violence and suspense to make it a better movie, but it's certainly worth watching.
Chum griffin I was hoping this would have moved irish cinema forward a bit. Unfortunately it succeeded in doing the exact opposite.There was a great lack of authenticity regarding the prison atmosphere, the supposed northern Ireland accents of some of the actors, the location( shot in Cork southern ireland and didn't care to hide that fact in the film). You would expect a prison drama to be a bit gritty and claustrophobic and maybe even instill a sense of menace. This felt more like an adult day care center where you could sit and drink a cup of tea with your custodian. Some performances worked but overall the film was embarrassing to watch as the amateurish holes appeared one after another.
