    This is a great suspense thriller that really takes off over the last half hour. RC is excellent as usual and EB does a fine job too. Well worth seeing at the theater.

    A good thriller. BTW Liam Neeson is barely in the movie. Brian Dennehey is in it too tho he hardly has any dialogue. This movie is not for kids they's be bored but a good adult evening. After the movie remember to start breathing..you know relax!

    The wife of a community college teacher has been convicted of murder. Rather than see their son grow up without their mother, he schemes to break her out of the county jail. The question of her guilt or innocence is left unanswered until the end of the film, but is not really relevant, as he simply believes her to be innocent and wants his wife to be free. There is solid work by the two leads, with tense moments as the two are fleeing from the law, but the film is prevented from reaching its potential due to the unlikelihood of its protagonist transforming from community college teacher to prison break specialist.
