key - hope

There are many movies and TV dramas about prison escape, and the ways of escape are also strange. Big Brother "The Shawshank Redemption", Andy has dug a tunnel for nearly 20 years; "Babylon" uses the law of the tide to directly build a raft and throw it into the sea. The waves drifted to the shore... If it wasn't for the line "The following is based on a true story" at the beginning of the movie, I wouldn't have thought that someone would directly make a key out of a wooden block in prison and open it. Go straight out of the prison door.

Based on true story

I won't talk about the background of the film review here, the atmosphere of some clips is still good,

①After the first unlock attempt is successful, after opening the innermost door, there is a rear iron door.

Oh

②When testing the outermost thick iron door, the wooden key was broken inside.

What are you afraid of

③ When using the wooden pole device to test the unlocking from the room window, the key fell off.

Artifact (chewing gum) assists

④ In the face of the warden's direct questioning of the soul, the answer in the face of danger.

Warden: It seems reasonable? ?

⑤ The only key that does not have the last door, directly violently unlocks the lock

At the end of the story, the protagonist and his party regained their hard-won freedom. Apart from some historical and other issues, the overall effect of a thriller is still good. Perhaps the loopholes in the prison supervision system at that time allowed the protagonist to use this method to escape. (What happened to the last gate?? There is no guard at the gate).

We made it!

Daniel's role transformation in recent years has been quite hard. Although there are many places in the film that can be improved and expanded, the atmosphere of some plot paragraphs is still tense. Overall good
