A Brilliant Conflict
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
The Jailbreakers is a well filmed but slight tale of criminal revenge that plays like a malnourished predecessor to Arch Hall's The Sadist. Three criminals (including a psycho gunman) are out for revenge against the man who ripped them off, three innocent civilians get wrapped up in the proceedings, and the picturesque ghost town used for filming virtually the whole picture looks great.
