The Escapist

I always enjoy a good prison escape movie, and with a cast including Brian Cox, Dominic Cooper, Liam Cunningham, and Joseph Fiennes once this film hit my radar it was Game On.  The basic storyline being that Cox's character is in for life, which doesn't seem to bug him, until x happens and he suddenly has an overwhelming motivation to get out.  He recruits other key people, and escape planning and execution ensues.

What makes this film a little different from other basic prison escape movies is that it cuts back and forth between the planning and execution timelines, edited in such a way that you learn about the preparation details right as you see them implemented.

This ain't no Shawshank, however a twist here and tweak there will keep you guessing until the end...
