Jailbreak: Love on the Run

Love does make you do the weird, wild and unthinkable things. It seems love is not just blind, it numbs your mind too. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. This true story has more excitement and suspense than a fictitious thriller.

How else can you explain a lady officer of a correctional facility getting friendly and falling in love with a much younger inmate who is in prison on a charge of murder. A case of fence eating grass. Worse how can this lady plan to run away with him in order to settle down with him in some remote location.

With years of experience in procedures of the law did she not realize that this escapade would end in their arrest not to speak of the shame it would bring to all concerned ?

The movie keeps you riveted throughout even though the narrative is in an unconventional format with extensive use of CCTV footage with faces blurred. The voice over and the storyline is well done keeping the suspense live.

Well no pun intended - you know the saying about who falls in love - or is it the song? I know Elvis sang about it. But while you could add Jailhouse Rock (to round up what the documentary also entails), let's dive into what this is about - although I reckon I made it clear.

So depending on your sensibilities and what you personally believe (morals may have to take a backseat) ... we get to see an unusual love story. I am not sure what the whole bad boy charm is though one could argue it may not apply 100% in this case. Well some women seem to want "rescue" men ... they see the good in them. Anyway this is another case of that, but since its a documentary you get to learn the "real" persons behind it all ... well done, researched and edited.

I don't know who's bright idea it was to garnish this alleged documentary with every sex-phone-call these two idiots engaged in, but it really shameful towards the director and Netflix for publishing this garbage.

I'm not a prude, but this tasteless trash is hardly entertaining and a sure waste of the money they invested into making it. Honestly, the director of this should be barred from ever making another documentary for his/her entire life. They honestly don't understand the medium.

I love crime dramas, and was really set to sit down and enjoy this. After 40 minutes I'd had enough and turned it off. I found better retellings of this story done by amateurs on YouTube. Save your time.... watch something else.

Not an awful documentary but strangely portrays the situation as a Romeo and Juliet meets Bonnie and Clyde love story.

I don't doubt that Vicky White cared deeply for Casey but I can't believe Casey reciprocated her feelings.

Casey White is a manipulator. He found a weakness in Vicky that he used in an attempt to get him out spending the rest of his life in prison. People like him are skilled in finding the most vunerable and know how to play the game.

I think it is a tragedy that Vicky's legacy as a steller employee was completely ruined the instant she gave in to her emotions. She simply should've known better.

Decent documentary.

Staff at a corrections facility are shocked to learn that their colleague, Vicky White, a stalwart of the facility has fallen in love with an inmate, Casey White, and helped him to escape.

What an absolutely crazy story, talk about an unexpected love story. It's a very well made, intriguing storyline, well made, interesting and surprising, with some fascinating interviews.

I had a feeling it would have a tragic ending, and it really does, what a way for this story to end, a tragedy.

It doesn't seem as though Casey was a particularly good guy, he wouldn't have ended up where he did I guess, but what on Earth was Vicky thinking, what a crazy risk to take. One thing that seems obvious, they fell for eachother.

One question I came away with, is nobody monitoring those phone calls inside the prison? Surely someone would have clocked the sheer volume of calls?

7/10.
