"Escape from Pretoria" hits theaters on March 6, 2020.
Daniel Radcliffe plays the protagonist Tim Jenkin. Daniel has brought us many subversive performances in recent years, whether it is Quasimodo in "Victor Frankenstein" or "Victor Frankenstein " The wilderness explorer in "The Jungle" and the cyber keyboard warrior in "The Gun at the Waist" are deliberately breaking away from the shadow of Harry Potter and watching Daniel challenge a new role, which is believed to be the reason why most people watch this film.
This prison break film set in the apartheid setting of South Africa does not involve too much racial conflict. Instead, it enters the theme ten minutes after the beginning of the film, and the relevant plots are also touched.
The biggest highlight of the whole plot is the use of wooden keys to escape from prison. Fortunately, the director also interprets the keys as the biggest focus of the whole film, so that people can ignore some of the insufficiencies in the plot.
Counting down the most impressive scene in the whole film, it is the scene where Leonard and Tim tried to escape for the first time (named and criticized Stephen, and the male second setting is optional), whether it is the soundtrack or the camera lens. is just right.
One of the most exciting is the scene where Leonard and Tim are hiding in the storage room. The footsteps are walking away in the dark, the quiet environment, the heavy breathing of the fat prison guard, and in the dark storage room, two pairs of suspicious Uncertain eyes bring a thrilling sensory stimulation.
Daniel's acting skills in the play are quite remarkable, but some small flaws can still be seen in some plots, and some places will appear to be too forceful and unnatural, plus the collective intelligence of the prison guards in the film and the logic of the plot. Out of balance, the overall look is still a bit awkward.
The second male, Stephen Lee (played by Daniel Webber), emmmmm, to be honest, is very innocuous.
I want to praise this film here. I think the second best character in acting, Leonard played by Mark Leonard Winter, plays a brave French man quite beautifully, and his emotional expressions are also very natural. So much so that most people thought it was a real person playing in person.
By the way, they just happened to have the same name as the character in the play, not the person involved, and the character "Leonard" should be for the plot of the conflict of ideas with the anti-apartheid leader Dennis, to avoid being a human being. Made up out of criticism.
A man in his 30s or 40s, he was only in 1978. The South African government would not have arrested Leonard, who was at most a few years old at the time...
