Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
promine1 I loved this movie! If you are a Patrick Dempsey fan (as I am), this was a virtual feast. It was more of a romance than an "action" movie. For those who are looking for a violent, shoot-em-up movie focused primarily on a prison escape, I would advise to look elsewhere. This movie is more about feelings and the many different ways to "escape" - from the pain of bad life choices, from a life of sadness, into dreams of a better future. More of an artistic film. I loved this movie so much I bought a copy and watch it over and over. It was meaningful to me on many levels and I love Patrick with his long hair!
ds380 I saw this film a long time ago in Ukraine, and it deeply impressed me. I am still remembering that impression and trying to find a copy of the film in English to review it. The film is about clean and natural love, about deepest trust based on feelings, not knowledge, about one day in the life which is worth of tens of regular, common and primitive lives - whether they are spent in prison or at large.The comment is finished, so, please, ignore the rest.I have to continue writing something to collect enough lines of text to get the one posed :). OK, I'm having no problems with tricking this system :). Hope the moderator will forgive me do it, as well.
frag_the_limit The title does not match the story much, since there is 15 minutes of Clayton escaping from a mad policeman and the police force then for the rest of the hour he manages to end up in a house when it was pouring down.Later on he meets some girl, they talk about their dreams after talking for over an hour morning came police raided the house Clayton runs to a nearby dam does a Peter Pan like the fugitive and gets shot.After all that is this even an escape movie or him talking about his dreams with a young musician about opening a club called the cage also some other questions are "what happened to that cop".
Oreo Bridgette Bako is the one ray of light in this predictable movie line. An amazing beauty!
