Refractions coming through the Tricoloured Indian prism...

The Escapist - a short review

May 20th 2009 11:16

I watched this movie yesterday. It is an example of how slick, razor sharp and tight editing and screenplay can elevate an ordinary movie into a very good one.

It is a prison breakout story. As such this genre has been revisited many different times. The different view that this movie showcases is refreshing. Excellent acting is complemented by perfect Scottish brogue, Irish twang and the occasional sharpish London accent.

The movie manages to be erudite and at the same time enigmatic - especially with its ending scene. A must watch movie - if for nothing but to observe the editing and screenplay technique.

And yes, this is better than the Quentin Tarantino style
