This film is a hard one for me to review because I am very tempted to hold it to the same high standards set by well renowned prison films such as The Great Escape, The Shawshank Redemption etc.

The movie tells the true story of the escape of anti aparhied activists during the 70. Daniel Radcliff heads up the cast acting as Tim Jenkin. While Mark Leonard Winter and Daniel Webber act as fellow escapies. The story follows the story from the cause of incarceration through to the escape. (Saying they escaped isn't a spoiler seeing as its a true story). As interesting as the story is and may have made for a good documentary. I just don't feel it made that good of a film. The characters lacked charisma or much intrigue and the plot was rather predictable with a few moments of tension added to make things more interesting. True stories can sometimes make for amazing films but sometimes they make for better documentaries. I would have rather seen this as a documentary. The movie is by no means bad. The acting was good. The story made sense. The sets were good. The music was ok. So overall 7/10. Not a bad film but definitively not in my top 100 film list.
