Political activists Tim Jenkin (Daniel Radcliffe) and Stephen Lee (Daniel Webber) from the African National Congress are imprisoned in Pretoria Prison and come up with a plan to escape.

I like prison films, especially prison escape films. I don't know how accurate the prison escape to the real story of Tim Jenkin is but if this is how he actually escaped, maybe the director could have added more scenes that didn't happen to make it more suspenseful and exciting. For the most part, it is just Daniel Radcliffe making keys and trying them out. That is pretty much the whole plan and while they went for a more realistic than a stylish approach it didn't really make for an entirely enjoyable watch, but it wasn't all terrible.

Daniel Radcliffe was great in the movie, and so was Stephen Lee and Mark Leonard Winters. I just wished for more character moments, what was he up to before prison, why he was arrested and what he did after his escape. I'm sure you could find out if you read more about Tim Jenkins story, but I feel like this film should assume you know nothing about him and inform you of this. The accents seemed pretty good despite them not being South African.

It had some intense moments but fails to maintain it throughout the film. A forgettable movie that I probably won't watch again. 5/10.
