Escape Artist

An honest view on flaws and blindness of people, influenced by trends and what they've been told without even processing the information. The story is there, the cast was great, and what i loved about this movie is it's original music, written and produced by the director. The only suggestion i could give to the director as a viewer - movie was a little bit too long, some scenes were repetitive and to cut it for about 15 min would be perfect. Otherwise, well done James, and I wish you success on this one and future projects.

Never saw a film quite like this before. Favorite part was the writing. The lead character goes off about everything in a super deep way. Gotta watch again just to catch everything.

This one stood out for me. Never seen these things addressed in a movie before and it made me think a lot about what's really going on behind the scenes and people's unbelievable urge to follow the herd, no matter how bad that can be -- especially for themselves.

It was gritty and rough around the edges but that made for a more realistic feel. Whoever wrote this definitely had a strong message to get out there.

Came across this movie last night and started watching out of curiosity and loved it! Very realistic feel due to the handheld camera style juxtaposed with super high quality news scenes. Loved the writing and related to the main character A LOT. Excellent commentary on what is happening politically right now. Could have used some more excitement but still holds your attention with a nice surprise (and not so surprising) ending.

I saw the link to this move on a political forum and the person who posted it was asking for everyone to attack it. I guess it "triggered" some people lol.

Especially for the first movie from this director, I thought it was great. It is quite risky to put a film out with such direct political viewpoints but I think those viewpoints were very 'center' and things everyone can relate to. As far as the style of the movie, I thought it was cool how there were music videos laced throughout and the crazy 'Natural Born Killers' type of flashy editing.

A solid 9 for me for daring to do something different.
