Pacto de Fuga

Great movie with great performances and an image that does not seem like it was a Chilean movie, very good music, and although they are actors that we have seen many times in Chilean cinema, they provide very good performances, good script that in this country is looked at less, in my opinion the best Chilean movie I've seen, without taking merit from machuca Thanks criticas qls for the recommendation

You compare it to nonsense like Stallone's recent jailbreak films, Fox TV's ridiculous prison break series, or even Clint Eastwood's old Alcatraz film, they all come up short in comparison to this.

It's the true story of a mass breakout of political prisoners under the fascist dictatorship of Chile. The closest US film to this is The Great Escape, the true story of Allied POWs escaping a Nazi prison camp.

Similar in many ways, meticulous details, many strong characters and performances, slow build, and a nail biting finale where you root for them to succeed. It's the best escape film made in perhaps forty years.

Political prisoners plan a great escape from a prison run by fascists under the dictatorship of the piggy Pinochet. As a fan of movies based on prison escape, i enjoyed this immensely. Generous with a 10. Simple. Aint no wannabe critic. The film has sufficient tension n suspense throughout. The acting, editing n direction is in top form. Another good aspect is the soundtrack. The English translated lyrics is very uplifting. A solid tale of hope, freedom n a true symbolic victory over the fascist regime. Fans of Le Trou, A Man Escaped, The Great Escape, Escape from Pretoria, Escape from Alcatraz, etc will definitely enjoy this film.

And bite the dust later, because the claustrophobia reall took hold on me. its a jailbreakdrama, folloming the generics og the genre, and i suppose it has to be so, because everybody knows what happens and therefore nothing really new for others to copy.

its sweat and there a stamina, like a workoutscheme toward the olympic games, the actors do a fine job and some of the filmographic standards are pretty high. not too steady editing, but with music that gives the real feel, and a plot that i think filled the playtime very sufficently.

well, a prison made of bricks cant block real daredevils , and a low staff numvber its even more defensless, so with patience my friend everything goes well. an ok film...

Great movie with the pure Hollywood style. Inspired in real facts occurred in chile during the 80'
