2. Summary

   Very Good 3.5

   When I started this movie about a man who breaks out of every prison he’s put into, I thought that I’d be watching an action flick, but although there was some of that, most of the movie was development — and I thought it worked really well. It’s an interesting movie to watch. I haven’t decided whether the ending was confusing or whether I was just so tired by the time I watched it on my 3rd of 3 flights from Chicago to Beijing that I just didn’t get it …

   I’d say it’s a worthwhile foreign flick.
