This could have been a good movie, but it wasn't. It has all the usual formulae. Relative in distress, needs rescuing etc. Similar plot to Die Hard but without the suspense. In fact nothing really makes you associate with any of the characters as they're all pretty lack lustre. Even the main villain isn't that convincing. The whole plot has flaws and you don't really get to understand the reason for the breakout or who the people are who are doing it. Also at the end, why does the helicopter drop a rope ladder when it could just have landed? Many things in this movie make no sense. My advice, give it a miss.
