1st thing: Don't think this is a great drama/action movie. There's no fight or outstanding escape plans and incredible plot twists. Keep in mind: this is based on a true story and it's a Radcliffe movie. It can't be that good.

Now, the review, please: I must say that after seeing this movie I was extremely happy. Being a fan of Radcliffe, I am used to be disappointed by his career choices. However, this is a very normal movie. It's a low budget movie directed by Francis Annan that tells the real-life prison escape by 3 political prisoners (one of them Tim Jenkins, played by Radcliffe).

The narrative is well told and what's just an average story turns into something entertaining, intriguing and engaging. The way Francis Annan decided to create tension and suspense is smart and effective and aspiring filmmakers should take notes. The acting is also very good and I wasn't expecting that to happen. Radcliffe proves, once more, his versatility.

The movie has all the ingredients: good direction, good acting, good storytelling, suspense and intensity. It's a good movie and it's time well spent.

It's not great but it's nice to see it.
