cliffvose Despite some massive inconsistencies in the logistics of the plot and some amateurish acting the absurd premise does deliver a kind of Disney comic appeal. I guess 'the historical setting' allows the use of the 'n word', which in a more contemporary setting would be frowned upon by the largely disenfranchised classes. Maybe some people in the theaters would suck in their breath while others would just snigger and pop popcorn. The main character played deadpan by George Sample III gets seventh billing in the credits. So, what's new? Marla, played by Sondra James is the real star, with some great lines.

Michael Ledo The film takes place in 1969. Two mediocre deputies who are not quite dumb and dumber are terminated from their employment for a lack of crime in their community. When prisoner 614 escapes from the Adirondack prison facility, they get the ideal if they apprehend the prisoner, they will get their job back. Ron Perlman plays the hard nosed sheriff who fired the deputies. The film is a quirky light comedy. The deputies are inept and the sheriff is a stereotypical right winger. Note everyone smokes. I liked the old Lucky Strike pack. Guide: no sex or nudity. Don't recall any F-words.

Mark Thomas REVIEW - THE ESCAPE OF PRISONER 614I've been meaning to watch this film for a while and finally got around to doing so. I saw the trailer while waiting for another movie to start and I must admit I was very pleasantly surprised. The trailer makes the film seem to be one genre of film but upon watching the film itself you quickly realise that it's actually both, again I'm not going to give too much away, but needless to say I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's slow, as its set in a small town where nothing ever happens, this fact is true to the whole essence of the story, the film and the location. Personally I really enjoyed this but I'm aware that others may not. Acting is excellent, story excellent, just an interesting bit of fun for a Sunday evening. Rating 8 out of 10

cdcrb Two inept deputies go after an escaped convict in the adirondacks. the movie is going for dark humor. it doesn't really work, but I have seen a lot worse movies. the very low rating is not really deserved.
