Ticket Out

If you like Ray Liotta you will like this movie. Good Saturday night flick.

No pun intended - if you are a fan of Ray Liotta, I do not have to convince you to watch this. It should be a given. And his role is ... well it may not be the typical stuff you may expect of him. That is because you have an over the top baddie already in this - so there is nuance with him to say the least.

That said, it still is quite cliche ... and the story is overall predictable ... I would not rate or criticize the actors on their acting skills ... it begins with a woman finally deciding to take action (in her own hands) ... of course that means that she will be on the run ... now morally speaking it should be quite clear who you should root for ... still being right and people knowing you are in the right ... two different things. Seen worse movies, but also way better movies of course. Not a must watch unless as stated above you are a big fan.

Predictable? What movie did you watch? There are a few plot twists and I could not guess the ending. You're left hanging? Did you watch the entire film? There's a very definitive conclusion! I've seen similar subject matter previously and this is the best of the lot!

This starts of feeling like a Lifetime type abused wife fleeing husband movie but it turns out better than expected and is quite exciting.

The cast is above average too. The very pretty Alexandra Breckenridge (the young girl in the French Maid costume from American Horror Story Season 1) plays the abused wife. She acts well. Billy Burke (Charlie Swan from Twilight) plays the abusive husband well. Ray Liotta plays someone helping the wife and kids flee through the underground network.

There is an interesting twist and it is watchable from beginning to end. It's not an Enough type thing. More realistic actually. Worth a watch.

I was hoping I would get some drama, anxiety...I thought I would be mesmerized by the script, which sounded nice to me, while reading the back of the DVD. Well, I didn't get any of this. The movie is OK, I didn't waste my time watching it, but definitely it could have been better. It lacks some resolution, you end up wishing it was 10-15 longer. Some of the facts exposed are not quite clear (though you can get some ideas) by the horrible script. They tried to make a thriller, they tried to make our heart jump at some scenes. Well, they almost succeed. I have to say that I like the idea, it was just not well executed. Some of the viewers might watch the movie and get angry just because they wish to see more, to understand the situation better, and truly happened with the characters.
