    Escape from Escapee. Its Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 hours Ill never get back

    Listen trust me on this one. If you like bad acting bad direction bad and bad acting (Oh sorry did I say that twice?) then watch this movie. I am trying to figure out who paid the other reviewers to say this movie is good. First off the character development of the serial killer was not done very well. We don't know anything about him accept that he is a killer.We know Freddy's story, we know Jason's story whether we agree or not we have some incite into why some serial killers do what they do. The way some of the people get killed is just so plain predictable that I nearly feel asleep on this movie twice. Trust me on this, save 2 hours out of your life and do anything else with that time...

    Oh boy... 🤦‍♀️

    Let me start by saying that I love Dominic Purcell. He was a big selling point for me. Christine Evangelista and Carly Chaikin are also talented actors. Their performances were good.

    As for the rest of this movie, there are very few redeeming qualities. The writing is terrible. The dialogue is awkward, the vocabulary of the detectives is unrealistic/inaccurate. (At one point a detective says "Let's take a look at some cop photos") The directing was terrible. A lot of the acting was terrible. There were very few brain cells in this movie. You probably shouldn't watch it if you have a low threshold for stupid.

    Brilliant....

    Brilliant movie,With some brilliant shots, great graphic's, excellent and interesting use of sound, the movie looks a million dollars more than its relatively low budget and massive credit goes to campion murphy for showing that you can make so much more from such a simple set up. All of the actors embed their characters with a complex credulity that works well in the scary and surreal situation that they all find themselves in especially faith fords character,It also should serve as an inspiration to horror movie makers as it proves that with creativity and imagination you can make a movie on a low budget which looks and feels like a Hollywood horror but is ten times more original. all in all i would definitely recommend this film to family and friends. This years 2013 must see.

    Amateur

    So, a mentally ill killer escapes the locked institution and pursues some random woman who was visiting the institution with her psychology class. He kills along they way. The woman is unaware of this fact. This allows for her annoying friends to be silly stereotypesnof college characters.

    Production is okay. Acting is minimal but enough to be characters. They are rather sedate in the acting, presenting with little panic or push for the crsis situation. But, they aren't convincing enough to really care about them. Plot is a bit one note. The story plays out with a minor twist. But overall this film is rather pedestrian and starter level.

    I Feel Bad Dominic Purcell Agreed To This

    This film hardly deserves a solid, serious review. We have Dominic Purcell as a man who is locked up and one day sees a student on a field trip and apparently becomes obsessed with her. He breaks out ,and begins tracking her down.

    Now, first of all, I feel bad that Purcell is involved in a "prison break" film, because he should really be trying to move away from such things. But anyway, he is the best part of this train wreck of a film. The plot is convoluted, it just seems to go where it wants... they could have had a violent psychopath killing people or a teen slasher, but it seems like they wanted this and something a bit more intelligent -- a combination they were not ready to pull off.

    This is not the worst film I have seen this year, and probably not the worst film I have seen this month... but I would strongly advise people to watch just about anything else.
