The Escapist

I recently saw the Escapist and absolutely loved it! The film came out two years ago. It stars Joseph Fiennes, Liam Cunningham, Brian Cox, Dominic Cooper and Seu Jorge as five convicts hoping to escape a prison in London. Each man has a unique skill that makes him necessary for the plan to work. The only thing standing in their way is the convict that basically runs the prison and his junkie brother (Damian Lewis and Steven Mackintosh).

This film was definitely thrilling, but was also very much a psychological drama. The entire cast was really good, but Brian Cox was especially good. Without his performance, I do not think that the film would have been nearly as good. It is through his performance, that all of the others seem to work. He really holds them together. I would definitely recommend this film. It is a must-see!
