Escapee

This film hardly deserves a solid, serious review. We have Dominic Purcell as a man who is locked up and one day sees a student on a field trip and apparently becomes obsessed with her. He breaks out ,and begins tracking her down.

Now, first of all, I feel bad that Purcell is involved in a "prison break" film, because he should really be trying to move away from such things. But anyway, he is the best part of this train wreck of a film. The plot is convoluted, it just seems to go where it wants... they could have had a violent psychopath killing people or a teen slasher, but it seems like they wanted this and something a bit more intelligent -- a combination they were not ready to pull off.

This is not the worst film I have seen this year, and probably not the worst film I have seen this month... but I would strongly advise people to watch just about anything else.

The other reviews are all undoubtedly from folks promoting this flick, and/or those with some monetary stake in the movie. Even if this movie were free (and it can be) don't waste the time it takes to watch it (oh crap, I did that, shame on me). It's a typical low budget, low energy, low intellect, low entertainment B movie wannabe. It doesn't even strive for mediocre but heads straight for the recycle bin.

Your time is better spent sleeping than watching this yawner. So take it from this review, or take it from all those shills that have posted those strangely positive reviews, it's ultimately your time to waste. I wish I had spent the time sleeping.

Listen trust me on this one. If you like bad acting bad direction bad and bad acting (Oh sorry did I say that twice?) then watch this movie. I am trying to figure out who paid the other reviewers to say this movie is good. First off the character development of the serial killer was not done very well. We don't know anything about him accept that he is a killer.We know Freddy's story, we know Jason's story whether we agree or not we have some incite into why some serial killers do what they do. The way some of the people get killed is just so plain predictable that I nearly feel asleep on this movie twice. Trust me on this, save 2 hours out of your life and do anything else with that time...

Let me start by saying that I love Dominic Purcell. He was a big selling point for me. Christine Evangelista and Carly Chaikin are also talented actors. Their performances were good.

As for the rest of this movie, there are very few redeeming qualities. The writing is terrible. The dialogue is awkward, the vocabulary of the detectives is unrealistic/inaccurate. (At one point a detective says "Let's take a look at some cop photos") The directing was terrible. A lot of the acting was terrible. There were very few brain cells in this movie. You probably shouldn't watch it if you have a low threshold for stupid.

So, a mentally ill killer escapes the locked institution and pursues some random woman who was visiting the institution with her psychology class. He kills along they way. The woman is unaware of this fact. This allows for her annoying friends to be silly stereotypesnof college characters.

Production is okay. Acting is minimal but enough to be characters. They are rather sedate in the acting, presenting with little panic or push for the crsis situation. But, they aren't convincing enough to really care about them. Plot is a bit one note. The story plays out with a minor twist. But overall this film is rather pedestrian and starter level.
