Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

ajrmtz Why did they give up on this? yeah some can view this as racist and feeding into stereotypes, but who cares it was fiction. I'll admit... your like huh???? WTF just happened??? but I know there's some creative people that can turn this around.Also, I'n kinda mad that they didn't show the outcome of the episode when the boyfriend breaks out of prison only to run into a plot twist? At least a a possible spin-off I see there.Come-on Hollywood, its time to give people what they wanna watch and not just a dead end show. I bet a Season 3 would be explosive.

umairj I started watching this series after reading the good reviews, but IMO this could have been way better. The plot is good but the characters are not developed enough according to me, I read someone comparing it to Prison Break. Prison Break had an interesting lead character, an Extraordinary Engineer in a prison, supported by other really well written and acted characters. Unfortunately, I feel Breakout Kings to have a tad too many characters, like I don't even see the point of having the Prisoners they choose, and non of them is strong enough to hold a viewer. I hope this review is useful for others and they can save some time :)

SnoopyStyle Deputy U.S. Marshal Charlie Duchamp leads an experimental program recruiting convicts with special skills to track down criminals on the run. He is killed to start the second season. Former Marshall Ray Zancanelli is revealed to have a criminal past and given the chance to take over after Duchamp's death. Shea Daniels, Erica Reed, and Dr. Lloyd Lowery are convicts with specific skills. Assistant Julianne Simms is a former student struggling with anxiety issues.The pilot has Nicole Steinwedell and she had good chemistry. She was dropped and replaced with Serinda Swan. The group still has great chemistry and that's the show's main asset. It's very good especially for a police procedural. It looked good for one season and A&E renewed it for one more season. After Laz Alonso left the show for some reason, the group chemistry was altered and irretrievably damaged.

MrChe You need a criminal to catch a criminal - It sounds good? Well, I have watched many criminal, action TV series, and I must say this one isn't up to it's level, because the idea of criminal cons catching the ones who escaped from jail is pretty awesome. But lack of acting and writing, it fails there. We have a situation where there are cons who are "masterminds" in their field but aren't so smart in their acting roles, it looks like they are picked from the jail randomly. I have watched 5 episodes, and so far am not planing watching second season, because it doesn't appeal to me so much as it usual do from other shows. I would recommend better writing, role playing, more intense catching cons who are escaped, better inside into U.S Marshall life's, and more action drama into series. The rating of it self on IMDb shows how structural and liking this show is. I would rate it 6/10
