The Escape of Prisoner 614

Martin Starr and Jake McDorman are a couple of dumb deputies. When they let George Sample III escape from custody, hard-as-nails sheriff Ron Perlman fires them. To recover their jobs, they decide to track Sample in the huge wildlife preserve.

Set in picturesque country during winter, it is adequately photographed by Adam Lee. Writer-director Zach Golden has made what is essentially a hillbilly comedy, run at a pace that is too slow for my taste, but which will appeal to some.

REVIEW - THE ESCAPE OF PRISONER 614

I've been meaning to watch this film for a while and finally got around to doing so.

I saw the trailer while waiting for another movie to start and I must admit I was very pleasantly surprised.

The trailer makes the film seem to be one genre of film but upon watching the film itself you quickly realise that it's actually both, again I'm not going to give too much away, but needless to say I thoroughly enjoyed this.

It's slow, as its set in a small town where nothing ever happens, this fact is true to the whole essence of the story, the film and the location.

Personally I really enjoyed this but I'm aware that others may not.

Acting is excellent, story excellent, just an interesting bit of fun for a Sunday evening.

Rating 8 out of 10

...but the scenery is very scenic; the music is quite tuneful. Two stars. Words fail me. This is an abysmal movie. Devoid of humour. Surely this should go straight to video.

This movie must have been funded by tobacco companies. The dude's are lighting up in virtually every scene. Jeez, enough with the cigarette smoke already. Why does Hollywood continue with this when the coolness of smoking has been dead twenty years? Beats me, but Hollywood sure still loves it. I guess they will continue to love it as long as the bucks from tobacco companies keep rolling in. Hollywood continues to be so phony and out of tune, it's really irritating. The Marlboro man would have been in the front row watching this if he wouldn't have croaked from lung cancer. If it wasn't for the ridiculous inhaling of fumes, I would probably have given this a 4 (cause the acting wasn't bad when they were acting and not smoking) but with all the unimaginative tobacco partaking, I lowered it to a 1. Guess now after watching this cloud of carcinogens movie, I need to head over to the local liquor store and grab me a pack of smokes.

I thought this movie was beautifully shot showing off the gorgeous Hudson Valley region with beautiful landscape shots and even shots that look like they were captured with a drone. I really appreciated how every scene was so beautiful. I also loved the music. Prisoner 614 is funny but not in a hahah kind of way, more subtle funny. Reminded me of a Coen brothers film. Overall, a great message and very timely movie. The actors were also perfectly casted. I loved Ron Perlman and Martin Starr, the prisoner was an excellent actor as well. For the Director's first film, i thought it was pretty darn good. Especially considering it was shot in 2 weeks on a $600K budge
