The Escape of Prisoner 614 (2018)

Wow......this film drags you to no where.

[2/10 · 12 August 2021]

I'm very surprised at this film. It would seem that if you're going to film a story that deals with such a serious subject as the wrongful sentencing of a minority that you would want to go the serious route. Instead the creators decided to go with the quirky approach. Now, quirkiness can be good, but you have to fully commit to it. Unfortunately, this film lacks the right kind of quirk. It's going to take more than Martin Starr putting on a big moustache and glasses for this film to fit into that genre. This film doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it a comedy or a tragedy. It is most definitely amateur. Poor Perlman......what a waste. I wanted to give this film 1 star.....but it could've been worse. At least there were some nice retro vehicles here and there. I'll never watch this again.
