A very exciting prison escape movie, comparable to the "prison escape" American TV series. In the nearly 2 hours of plot, there was no moment of peeing. From the beginning of the planned escape, to copy 39 prison keys little by little, it lasted 404 days, and finally successfully escaped. Daniel's performance is really brilliant. Countless attempts, time and time to save the danger. The weight of the water cup, the wood stuck in the keyhole, the key model in the toothbrush barrel, especially when sticking the handle with chewing gum, it also made him sweat when he was watching a movie. The help of his inmates is also vital. In the end, if the inmate breaks the light bulb to attract the attention of the guards, it may cause the market to be lost.
The director took every detail very well. This movie is adapted from real people and real events, so it makes the plot more real and intriguing. In the circumstances of the time, racial discrimination was serious, and the protagonist team was dying, just like the last mentioned in the movie after they escaped, they continued to fight against the apartheid system. Their beliefs are worthy of admiration.
If you insist that it is not enough, it may also be that the background of this period of history and the proportion of the middle period is less, and a lot of space is given to the process of escape. But it is still 4 stars, and I recommend it to friends who like this type!
