That was an excellent one.

Fantastic!

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It is frightening that there are cold blooded heartless killers and ignorant insecure people that follow them. It was gut wrenching watching a young family with their baby and a newlywed couple executed in cold blood by cowards. Used to Hollywood movie scripts, you can't help but anticipating the innocent people somehow escape and overcome their captors. Having lived in the Mohave desert, the screen can not come close to capturing the constant oppressive heat that can kill a person without water in hours as well as invoking heat stroke along with confused thinking. If Tison was in anything like Sheriff Joe's outdoor prison, I'd do anything to escape that hell hole.

This review will irritate some people I know and I don't care. The movie was great by the way and Robert Patrick is awesome. It's a much better version than the one made in 1983. I just want to look at it -being a real event took place 70s- from a different perspective. Just think about from Lyonses' perspective -the family they killed-. So this poor fellow stops in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere to HELP some poor kid. He could have driven on, think about the family he is supposed to protect right? No, he chooses to stop and help. Why? Probably because he has certain religious teachings settled in his mind saying God would love people helping each other(and not necessarily hate stupid people, does He?) or/and some similar ethics and moral came from the society he was raised into, saying 'you need to be good to other people' ... and he choses to be good. He chooses to be good to be reckless and stupid because highly possible that when acting in such high sprit -even though against all odds-, God or Karma or something would protect him. No, in the next minutes he sees(or even doesn't) all his loved ones get killed by vicious people they didn't know before. The only reason we should be good is because with good people this crazy world is going to get better, otherwise it'll be a chaos and we will not like it. It's NOT because some stupid book or books written thousands of years ago said so. Being good is good but that should not sacrifice our rational thinking.

This film is a crime drama based on the true story of the prison escape of Gary Tison (Robert Patrick) and Randy Greenawalt (Chris Browning) with the assistance of Tison family members. The group run into a lot of bad luck on their way to the border as they have their "last rampage." The characters made the film interesting as Gary shoots a car and says, "It ain't easy to kill a Chrysler." The warden (John Heard) brushes off criticism by telling us 'hindsight is fifty fifty." Heather Graham does an excellent job as Gary's wife who doesn't believe the official records. She shielded her sons from the truth which resulted later with some internal drama.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

I saw the movie in the opening weekend in LA and likely one of my favorites of the year. It's action packed, and the fact that is based on a true story makes it all the most interesting. I loved it! Robert Patrick and Alex MacNicoll have such good chemistry but I was not expecting the ending.. without spoiling it, you must see it, you would not have seen it coming!
