The best prison escape film ever made

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2019)

Imagine creating a character who is locked away in the most secure jail ever conceived (in 1991). You want this character to be smart enough to escape. You need to explain why this person is locked away in such a secure place. You choose physician as this character's vocation to show intelligence and a knowledge of anatomy. To portray a dark, criminal intent and make this person scary, you choose cannibalism as their crime. But how can an audience relate to this character or be interested for more than 5 minutes? You counterbalance the character with another who is worse, someone who is making a dress from female human skin and you find an attractive, intelligent woman, an FBI agent, who needs this cannibal to stop the dressmaker. In the end, you conceive a daring escape for the cannibal, and he gets his deserved revenge on his jailer/torturer. It pushes so many limits while retaining balance. This is the best prison escape film ever made.
