Escape - Flucht ohne Ausweg

Bridgette Bako is the one ray of light in this predictable movie line. An amazing beauty!

One reviewer commented that the movie didn't know if it was an action movie, or an exploration of the minds of prisoners. That about sums it. There's not much action in this prison escape movie, which spends a great deal of time talking about the greatness of poetry, reading poems, or having B&W fantasies about owning a nightclub where people can read poetry. It's as ridiculous as it sounds. The movie seemed like it was going nowhere, and at the end, that's where it was. You'll be asking yourself at that point, "What was the point of all of this?"

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!

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.

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.
