New York Prison Break: The Seduction of Joyce Mitchell

It is a good movie. Acting was very good. The low rating reflects reviewer's prejudice over there not being big name stars in it, IMHO. The humor was great, regardless of some snooty reviewers thinking it weakened the story.

While it seems this movie stuck very closely to reality, it was shocking how unintentionally funny it was. The humor made it watchable. I'm not sure I would recommend it as a serious learning tool. But it was definitely unforgettable, if for only the wrong reasons. The lead actress came across as the most unbelievable. The supporting cast did a fabulous job with the script they were given.

I realise movies are no match for the classic 1940s, This movie has no boundaries for boredom, if anyone can watch the whole movie they deserve a medal, I feel the whole show lost the plot and is totally pathetic.

It is what it is, a serviceable movie. In a motel and HBO plays the same movies all over. How many times can they play TED 2 or Michael Clayton? A Bourne flick is always on and then there is this movie.

The real life drama of this escape was riveting. Like most prison breaks all the effort goes in how to get out without much reflection on what's next--these two criminals were no exception.

If it weren't for these types of movies, how would C and B actors pay the bills? This venture gives a C actor the opportunity to star in a movie rather than get 10 mins of screen time on a bigger budget enterprise.

This is definitely is a made for TV movie and smartly didn't try to be anything else. I wish they put more effort in the escape and played the drama up--it really would have been more entertaining. If this was not a true story it would have been cheesy but life can offer a slice of cheese. This woman did get seduced in a boring marriage watching her passionless life go by. Very real life reality for many.

If you haven't seen the real life footage on YouTube of this crime break watch it--it is more entertaining than this movie but after you watch this interest is peaked. There is an hour long documentary that gets into the core details.

A film about seduction, betrayal and 2 cons who used all their charm to seduce a prison work supervisor into helping the cons to escape. Highly recommend this film.
