Great movie with the pure Hollywood style. Inspired in real facts occurred in chile during the 80'
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
A very good Chilean film about the true story of a mass escape of political prisoners during the Pinochet dictatorship.
Well interpreted and directed, I vibrated in front of this account of escape particularly long and difficult to realize thanks to the efforts and the solidarity of these comrades, in front of the rubbish of bureaucrats and torturers of the dictatorship.

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.

What a good movie #PactoDeFuga of the best that will be seen this year. A film that was scheduled to premiere for 10/2019 but with everything that happened in Chile, it had to be delayed and it seems that it is made for the country today. The stories are so well told, the dialogues are assertive and do not feel like a performance (which despite being obvious is appreciated) the last third of the film has you with the soul in a thread, because despite being based on a real fact (YES, THIS IF I PASS IN CHILE) in the same way, the narrative used is very tense.
It is a Chilean film that does not seem Chilean, despite being a Chilean story. It can be a story from anywhere in the world where a dictatorship was lived or lived and that makes it universal.
Separate and fundamental point, the performances (there were some problems, mainly with certain extras, but hey ...) they are great, Vicuña does not look like that ordeal that is tried to make the humorous, and really that it is graced, the rest of the cast 100 points, (Farias always great)
Finally, the soundtrack, where the 80's classics could obviously not be missing, but the best thing is that for the main theme they chose Ana Tijoux, that is, if everything went well, when one hears his voice, it is an energetic burden huge. The truth is a movie that must be seen.
