Escape

2003 · 96 min Comedy
3.7 / 10 · TMDB

Three second-rate delinquints - a retired, crippled pickpocket, a man born and raised in a prision who's never seen a day of freedom, and a young loser - escape from the police van that is taking them back to prison when it crashes. They jump a freight train and make their way to the Mediterranean coast, and hide out in an isolated mansion by the sea. In spite of the fact that it's the off-season for tourism, the house seems to be well maintained and strangely well stocked. Almost as strange as the sudden appearance of Nina, a young foreigner, whom the three fugitives have no choice but to hold against her will. However, when Nina is followed by some shady Russian mafia figures, our 'heroes' become accidentally involved in a plutonium-trafficking scheme. In this fast moving feature nobody is what they seem and three escaped criminals turn out to be the only ones amidst lies, plots and seduction who act in the name of honesty.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedic pace on the contrast between the grotesque absurdity of its characters and the serious criminal plot they stumble into. It relies on sharp editing and dark humor, exploring how chance throws together the most unlikely of allies.

What lingers after the credits is the feeling of a brisk, chaotic ride where the biggest threat isn't the mafia, but the trio's own incompetence. A solid pick for fans of crime capers. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Benito Rabal
