The Worst Film Ever
Tymon Sutton
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

This is potentially one of the most overestimated films in the last decade. It is visually attractive, modern and stylish with interesting choice of colors but everything else seems to be a result of poor choices and even worse logic. This film is not a thriller and most certainly not an action film, as some of the reviewers have noted. It is a misery inducing exercise in bad drama that will leave you feeling just short of suicidal. To begin with, there is the "jumping back and forth in time" element. This is usually used in films sparingly, so that the time sequence either starts in the past and then finishes in the now or the opposite. This film jumps back and forth so many times and so often that you end up having no clue whatsoever what part you are actually watching. Not only is this irritating, but it also makes it impossible for you to actually follow the attempted escape as, just as soon as they start running, a couple of minutes later you find yourself back in prison. Secondly - character development. There is none. Full-stop. Films about escape are all about characters, that's what provides the element of suspense. The film becomes important when you start sympathizing with the lead character. None of that whatsoever. Also, the film advertises itself as a story about a band of misfits. Being a misfit to me means a person of a certain character - puzzling or interesting in some way, but certainly non conventional. In this film, however, you learn nothing about the characters apart from their names. Thirdly, the plan is developed in like 3 seconds. The main part of the film, the part that actually makes you invested as it tickles your intelligence and sense of imagination is just missing. No character development, no plot development in a film that has a difficulty deciding whether to be a drama or a thriller, but ends up being misery porn. See this movie if you want to irrevocably cast away an hour and a half of perfectly good time that can be used for a host of other, more interesting things.

Very interesting movie with an unusual timeline structure. It builds and holds suspense very well all the way to the end of the movie, but, man, this film is fundamentally pretty grim, which held my rating down a bit. I'm not going to give anything away, but, while this movie is pretty emotionally powerful, I really can't imagine anybody feeling very good after watching it. It takes place entirely in a prison or under the streets of London, which gives it an extremely cheerless, malevolent, and claustrophobic atmosphere, and there aren't any really good guys here--only relative degrees of bad, as is characteristic of so many films today it seems. So a very good, but depressing movie that leaves me feeling like I need to take a shower, so I guess I will.

First I must say this is the first time I have written a review for IMD. Though I am a IMD junkie. Use it all the time. Was compelled to write regarding this movie. It was one of the best prison movies made in a very long time. A lot of what I would call hardness and softness. Which is why I think it would appeal not only to men but women also. Plus I think they said the "f" word about as many times as I could count on my two hands. Which is to say a lot. Meaning that a quality movie, involving this subject matter, can be great without using that word every other sentence.Nough said. Watch it!

I hate it what that happens. I enjoyed this movie very much, moreso than most but only found it by sheer accident. makes me wonder how many other little gems I've missed.it's hard to say a lot about the story w/o giving something away but I liked that this was just a simple/solid movie, well-edited and well-done. no fancy script, no navel-gazing, no big action per se, just an undercurrent of intensity that held my attention. I'm a tough grader and gave it an 8 but I think not so much on its merits but in comparison to so much of the garbage out there.maybe it's just my kind of interest but unlike a lot of movies, this one not only has a pay-off but the editing makes it easy to stay interested until then. it's not nearly as complex as memento for example (a 9 or 10 in my book) but is done better than most in that what they selected leaves you wondering what's going to happen next in b when they cut back to a and vice-versa.this one is what makes me like watching movies, just wanting to be entertained for an hour or two, not bored to tears or wonder "wtf??" when it's over.
