Jailbreak Lovers

Given the material, terrible acting. I fast forwarded to see the true part of this true story. Don't waste your time. I have nothing to add, but my review was too short!

Catherine Bell, stars as Toby, who finds herself in a stale 30-yr marriage who works for a nonprofit that takes in stray dogs and trains them as rescue dogs for a prison program. Enter John, who's a lifer that has a way with the dogs and Toby is impressed and they become fast friends and soon lovers but John wants to break out of prison so he and Toby could be together and she smuggles him out in a dog crate. This was a very good movie with strong leads and a good script based on a true story. Highly recommended!

Where do I start? Well I guess with the way the film goes to the extreme to make the husband look like a goober. Anyone who has ever been around a prison that holds murderers knows that everything that goes in and out is completely searched. An inmate in a dog crate- c'mon. Not going to be happening. And the way they made it all into a big game. So, OK, the woman is a dingbat that really doesn't care about her family and is willing to help a murderer (who she knows literally nothing about) escape and run off with. If you can look past all this, I suppose you can buy into the movie. And the crap about the original plan being they fornicate for a couple of months and then she goes home.....only a weak mind would think that- or believe that.

If you are looking for a fantasy world movie that has very little connection to possibilities, this might be the movie for you. If, however, you like you movies to have some semblance of reality, skip this and spend your two hours doing something productive.
