      I haven't seen such a shocking film in a long time.

      If I remember correctly, this is the only five stars in a long time, and I haven't had the urge to comment in a long time.
          The ending is really shocking. Everything was well planned but unexpectedly unexpected. This perfect escape can only happen in the imagination. All but the boy died in the end. Maybe he represented the old man's daughter. He wants to save those he protects.
          At first I thought it was a movie like jailbreak, but it was an accident. It's almost impossible to...

      Imagination Protects Us

      OMG originally saw that it was about to end and was going to sentence it to death, thinking it was a movie with more form than content... It's
      about a group of people breaking out of prison, and the time clues are interspersed back and forth. Yes, the actors are very interesting, especially the old man Brian Cox, the male lead, but there are too many characters and the various things that happened in the middle were so condensed that I was a little dizzy, and the time was intertwined...

      Unexpected jailbreak.

      There are a lot of movies about jailbreaking, most of which focus on how to escape and how to escape successfully. Almost no interest in seeing half of it. Because after all, the bullying in prison, and the homosexuality are also seen a lot. To tell the truth, I just feel that the rhythm is okay and the mentality of the beginning and the end.
      Until about an hour and 20 minutes. . Interlude. It's intertwined with the tension of the jailbreak as it progresses. The editing is pretty good....

      Alternative Flash

      If you don't talk about acting skills, it will only make you feel a little novel.

      Actually, it is not novel, but it is the normal way of human beings. Generally, as soon as everyone sees the camera begins to blur, they will immediately subconsciously think that he should start to recall, This is how most stories are told.

      But fantasy and longing are also human instincts. The description of the future and the scenes that may appear in the future is what I am talking about....

      save at least one

      I quite like this movie. An old man just wanted to save a young man, first his own daughter, and later a fellow prisoner. None of the others are relevant, just necessary for this purpose.
          In his mind, he saved the young man and saved his own soul. The real situation is unknown, but what difference does it make to a dying person. He just thinks it's worth it for him to do it.
          Many films like this kind of storytelling, but this one is very comfortable. There are no weird shaky...

      It did not surpass other prison break movies, but the editing was outstanding. When I sighed at the seamless editing of the flashbacks, I finally played an imaginary suspense. Cut me down, the competition in the field of art is wonderful, who said this is not...

      The flashbacks are interspersed to make the viewing experience more unpleasant. It is also a pity that the male pig died of injuries after escaping after all the hardships. The rest of the jailbreak process is not...

      There are no actresses. The highlight lies in the interspersed fantasy and reality, and the switching is more interesting. The disadvantage is that the resistance to escape seems far-fetched (contradictions between...
