REVIEW
This survival film about a group of prisoners is in part a travelogue with stunning vistas as they make their escape “to the south”. As usual Harris and Farrell turn in great performances but the others are equally convincing.
It’s a tad too long at 2 hours and 13 minutes with more than a few opportunities to whittle it down without taking away from the story.
CLASSIFICATION
for violent content, depiction of physical hardships, a nude image and brief strong language.
