Review of Escape from Pretoria (2020) by Dawdlingpoet — 15 Oct 2022

This is a quite gripping and certainly tense crime thriller film. The fact its based on a true story appealed, as is ever the case. Daniel Radcliffe does well in showing a range of emotions undoubtedly felt by the protagonist, Tim Jenkin - anger, determination, fear.

He isn't someone others may feel especially easy to feel sorry for, given what happened but even so, you may be surprised by the sheer brutality prisoners faced on a daily basis at the depicted prison.

Its an interesting tale pretty well told, with some edge of your seat type moments, so yes, I'd recommend it.
