Ten out of Ten

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2004)

After watching it a few time, this film has become my favourite! Each time I watch it I get more and more into the characters and I love it even more. On the contrary of what you might think at first the plot is not about escaping from the prison. If it was only that it wouldn't be anything special as there have been a lot of films on that subject. What the film is about is the development of the characters themselves.
I don't want to spoil it at all so I won't say any more about the story. All I can say is that I don't see to this day anything wrong with the film. Everything is brilliant from the acting to the music. I don't see how it is possible for somebody not to like it. I'd recommend it to anybody. It's one of those films which make you realize that you don't need CGI and big explosions to make a great film. But on the contrary big budget films are often the worst...
