The story would seem preposterous had it not happened in real life, yet the gritty, intense performances (...) make every second feel real.

So many natural and genuinely suspenseful scenes, that had me on the edge of my seat, and a handful og unnecessarily dumb and fabricated moments of suspense. I don’t know, maybe it’s just my true love for Radcliffe, but I loved this movie!

Fångarnas försök att inte andas för tungt, vaktens fotsteg som närmar sig, det försiktiga rasslet när en tränyckel vrider om låset. Man håller själv andan.
