If it's free to watch, I don't read reviews first as this avoids any spoilers, keeps my review honest, and, well, it's free.

It's a strange one to review as it's got a lot of aspects to it; historical, real-life event, political, drama, intensity and the mcgyver touch.

It has a low budget feel, but I liked its simplicity and the fact that it's not too busy. You get to concentrate on the core of the film, which as the film title eludes to, is escape.

I never heard of the characters or the escape and how they did it which was refreshing and enjoyed learning this in the film. It's simple, and before I knew it, the film ended. I have never been in prison, South Africa or a guard, so I can't comment on the authenticity of these aspects though I question the number of night guards. I didn't think much of the accents as they seemed odd, particularly the court scene. Other than that, I thought it seemed pretty authentic.

Worth a watch - it's all about the stress of getting caught, beaten and your sentence being doubled. Not about hanging from steam pipes Or jumping from building to building whilst firing two machines guns at the guards!
