Escape from Pretoria

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.

Daniel Radcliffe plays a real-life ANC activist in this fast-paced prison breakout movie.

Radcliffe is subdued but committed, lending an ideal everyman quality to Jenkin. It’s a real display of the actor’s talent.

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

...the whole film gives the audience the feeling of being confined and the emotional residuals that come with it.
