Synopsis:

Frank Perry (Cox, in a role written specifically for him) is a lifer

and has long accepted that hell never see the outside again. A solid

and phlegmatic character, he holds his own but neither attracts nor

creates any trouble. Grief is far more likely to be started by the

psychotic and drug-addled Tony (Macintosh), brother to the ruthless

head con Rizza (Lewis, who reportedly based his character's mannerisms

on a mixture of Tony Blair and Chris Eubank). However, when Frank

receives a rare letter telling him that his cherished daughter is

near death following an overdose, he starts to think about escaping,

and fast. Hes got a plan and he needs help. Soon a mismatched crew

of all the talents comes together, with Lenny Drake (Fiennes),

Brodie (Cunningham), Viv Batista (Jorge) and Cox's new cellmate

James Lacey (Cooper) each pitching in.

As is customary in the prison break genre, much attention is paid

both to the themes of incarceration, freedom and the four Rs -

redemption, release, regret and responsibility. Where The Escapist

differs from other prison break movies is in its structure. Wyatt

splices the preparations with the escape itself, cutting back and

forth between the two (often with visually effective jump cuts).This

gives way for a final twist which is inspired by Ambrose Bierce's story

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.

Much of The Escapist was shot in Dublin's Kilmainham Gaol,

where the open terraces and communal staircases give the feeling of

a ghoulish horseshoe-shaped cathedral overpopulated by human animals.

A scene near the end is shot in the bascule chamber beneath Tower

Bridge in London; coincidentally, exactly the same location where

Wyatt's brother-in-law Boris Starling set the climax of his 2006 novel Visibility.Enjoy and don't be afraid to say thank you,
