Most motivating film I have ever seen!, 12 May 2005
Author: newman-mike from United Kingdom

I am watching "Escape Under Pressure" right now - this very minute in the United Kingdom. Channel Five.

At the same time, I am struggling with the writing of a film script of my own. What a boost this film has given me! "Escape Under Pressure" has given me new hope! Not even I can be that bad!

That was really all I wanted to say. The script is appalling. Rob Lowe quit West Wing because in his opinion he was worth so much more! The producers wouldn't give it to him - maybe because they saw this! Pretty as in pretty stupid! Have I reached ten lines yet?

But the only really stupid guy is me - I'm watching it! And I'm still watching it - so painfully bad! At least there's only fifteen minutes more to go! Don't ask me how it ended ... I'm just grateful it did!
