BREAKOUT is a lacklustre and low budget B-movie action thriller from Canada. It has a woodland setting and wooden acting from most of the cast members. The character development is next to nil. A couple of kids vacationing in the wood accidentally witness a murder so the bad guys come hunting for them. Dominic Purcell plays the main antagonist of the film and is on autopilot for the most part while the victimised kids remain resolutely unsympathetic. Perhaps worst of all is the film's protagonist Brendan Fraser, who breaks out of prison in poorly-contrived scenario and becomes one of the unlikeliest action heroes you'll ever see. None of this is remotely convincing with the director coming off as the worst of the bunch as it feels like he has no conviction in his own story.
score 4/10
