With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for fans of prison dramas and fans of a well-timed joke. The walls close in, and so does the tension. A good follow-up to Take the Money and Run.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 23 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1927: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Laurel and Hardy are convicts making an escape from prison.
