Breakout - Weekend di paura

Stupid goofs and situations, there are too many to list. This is a good example of an extreme waste of production funds. Since the director wrote it he clearly was blind to the numerous mistakes and nonsense situations. The bad guy is the worst shot on the planet. And the good guy kept shooting at a distant target with a sawed off shotgun. The topper was when the good guy fights with the bad guy and does not take his rifle from him and then runs away to continue the chase. I think the actors are not to blame as much as the director and writer. I think if the people responsible for this movie every want to work again they are going to have to change their names.

Just finished watching this movie. The few written reviews this movie has received so far are a little on the harsh side. Although this was not a great movie it certainly was not a bad movie either. It was stuck someone in the middle. I really loved how this movie is set in Ontario, Canada. I am from Ontario myself and so it is refreshing to see movies from home so to speak. The idea behind this movie is solid enough the acting was a bit weak even for a big star like Brandon. I would say the best acting was from Dominic Purcell who is best known for his role in Prison Break.

I rated this movie an 5 out of a possible 10. I was not bad but it also was not that good good either.

Plot - weak, poorly planned, full of holes and questions, and well, kinda dumb.

Acting - Not one of Dominic Purcell's best moments. Best actor of the film was the young daughter. Brendan Frasier is just a poor actor to begin with so casting him in an action/thriller is a recipe for a lot of good jokes and unbelievable acting. Its really bad actually. His panic'd yelling is really humorous. Like scared little girl meets Encino man.

Setting was the only plus to this movie. Some great scenery if you like nature. That's about all.

Good day fellow movie goers...I literally just got done watching this movie. I will admit that I was a bit Leary of this particular movie because of others reviews and comments about it on here....surprisingly, I found it to be a clean good movie. I would definitely recommend it. Its nice to find a movie that does not have sex and nudity in it. This movie kept my interest throughout it. Its also nice because every other word is not a curse word. I am sure there are others out there who are looking for the same. So if you are looking for a good clean suspense-thriller movie, I would recommend watching this one. Enjoy!!

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning

Jack (Brendan Fraser) was imprisoned after accidentally killing someone during an environmental protest. He now has his ex wife as his attorney, and is on the verge of securing his release, only to find himself working outside jail when his own kids find themselves hunted by Tony Baxter (Dominic Purcell) after witnessing him commit murder.

This DVD offering has the right ingredients in place, in regards it's eerie atmosphere and setting, as well as a villain in the shape of Purcell, who has an undeniable presence in these roles that you just wish would be exploited in something better. But it never really comes together, and fails to develop in to a fully satisfying whole, thus never escaping it's restrictive DVD trappings. **
