New York Prison Break: The Seduction of Joyce Mitchell

I am not sure how I ran across this, but decided to watch it. Could not help be compare it with Ben Stiller's brilliant Escape at Dannemora limited series. It didn't quite meet the criteria. Guess it's like saying a high school production of Hamlet didn't compare to a West End production.

BUT! I did learn a few more things.

All in all, people should be aware when they are being 'courted' by cons. Cons in jail or in school or at your job. Cons are cons. They are everywhere and they are men and women.

Was she naive: No doubt. We all are at one - or 10 - times in our lives.

I did work in a federal prison for a brief time and some of the prisoners were very charming. And they could certainly spin a tale. The trick was to smile and let it go. Too bad she couldn't.

This is an interesting story and if I could only watch one, I'd watch the Ben Stiller version, but this one was okay.

A film about seduction, betrayal and 2 cons who used all their charm to seduce a prison work supervisor into helping the cons to escape. Highly recommend this film.

Unrealistic and non sense movie .. No nudity,no sex scenes😅..boring xharacters.

I've watched some pretty awful movies on Lifetime, and although this was based on a true story, I could not even watch the entire movie. I know Miss Miller studied Joyce in order to portray her to the best of her ability and for accuracy, but Joyce is THE most pathetic woman I've ever seen and her weakness was so annoying that I skipped out on the last 40 minutes. We all know the ending, so no need wasting valuable time on such drivel.

While it seems this movie stuck very closely to reality, it was shocking how unintentionally funny it was. The humor made it watchable. I'm not sure I would recommend it as a serious learning tool. But it was definitely unforgettable, if for only the wrong reasons. The lead actress came across as the most unbelievable. The supporting cast did a fabulous job with the script they were given.
