with an intelligent central performance from Radcliffe, this is a thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat but that also has something going on upstairs
all of this is filmed without gimmicks, which makes it earthy and involving; Daniel Radcliffe creating a solid character; Webber is also engaging; For a prison break thriller, this film may seem rather low-key, but it carries a potent thematic kick
"Escape From Pretoria" is a testament to the human spirit coupled with sweaty, relentless tension. The result is an intelligent thriller which constantly reminds us of political systems which are well within living memory
