Title: Boring, derivative
Review: This movie had potential. Not a lot, but it had some. But in the end, it's more forgettable, over-the-top, big budget Hollywood garbage. Do we really need to see Russell Crowe spending 20 minutes of an already too long movie looking for fake passports? No. Does the guy he buys them from being deaf help to tell the story in any way? No. Does the script ever convey a sense of deep love between husband and wife that would lead husband to take such drastic measures? No. Instead of spending almost the entire movie watching him prepare for the breakout, it would have much more interesting if they spent more time on the actual breakout itself. Pretty boring overall. If you like watching movies more than you like thinking, you might like this.
