    Amateur

    So, a mentally ill killer escapes the locked institution and pursues some random woman who was visiting the institution with her psychology class. He kills along they way. The woman is unaware of this fact. This allows for her annoying friends to be silly stereotypesnof college characters.

    Production is okay. Acting is minimal but enough to be characters. They are rather sedate in the acting, presenting with little panic or push for the crsis situation. But, they aren't convincing enough to really care about them. Plot is a bit one note. The story plays out with a minor twist. But overall this film is rather pedestrian and starter level.

    Just another crap wasting time movie.

    Great? good? a must see? wow....guess this is their first movie they watched in their lives, those who said that. I regret wasting my time watching this movie, where all actors seem like robots and act and talk by remote control. Don't waste your time and better spending it in sleeping. Everything in this movie is not acting and the story even not logic and just making us like fools. I wonder, where the director learned to make a movie and where the producers got the money to waste it in this low level movie. I never seen a worst movie than this one in my whole life and never would imagine there are people who wasted their money in making it. once again, don't even try to watch it and waste your time and money. there are many things better to do than watching this bad movie. my rating is -0000000000

    I Feel Bad Dominic Purcell Agreed To This

    This film hardly deserves a solid, serious review. We have Dominic Purcell as a man who is locked up and one day sees a student on a field trip and apparently becomes obsessed with her. He breaks out ,and begins tracking her down.

    Now, first of all, I feel bad that Purcell is involved in a "prison break" film, because he should really be trying to move away from such things. But anyway, he is the best part of this train wreck of a film. The plot is convoluted, it just seems to go where it wants... they could have had a violent psychopath killing people or a teen slasher, but it seems like they wanted this and something a bit more intelligent -- a combination they were not ready to pull off.

    This is not the worst film I have seen this year, and probably not the worst film I have seen this month... but I would strongly advise people to watch just about anything else.

    Bad in General

    I think that this movie is so awful. And of course if you ask me why? I will say that the acting is boring and the plot is so predictable. They bring beautiful ladies to market this film. but they didn't manage to do this. I think that Dominic was good in "Prison Break" but in this movie his acting was so bad (there was no acting at all). All the movie is about killing, killing and killing. But we didn't know why the main character is a killer and why he is chasing an innocent girl. And as we know this girl Did nothing to him. This movie didn't teach us anything or even entertain us that's why I think that I waste my time. Can anybody tells me what did his brother do exactly?

    Oh boy... 🤦‍♀️

    Let me start by saying that I love Dominic Purcell. He was a big selling point for me. Christine Evangelista and Carly Chaikin are also talented actors. Their performances were good.

    As for the rest of this movie, there are very few redeeming qualities. The writing is terrible. The dialogue is awkward, the vocabulary of the detectives is unrealistic/inaccurate. (At one point a detective says "Let's take a look at some cop photos") The directing was terrible. A lot of the acting was terrible. There were very few brain cells in this movie. You probably shouldn't watch it if you have a low threshold for stupid.
