Escapist - The movie soon in UK cinemas!(2008)

Official Website: http://www.escapistthemovie.com/

Frank Perry (Brian Cox) is a lifer; in prison for the rest of his natural born days. He's never had a problem with that: he did the crime; he'll do the time. Until now. He receives a letter telling him that his only and much loved daughter is critically ill following an overdose. He knows that he must see her and to do that he'll have to escape. But he can't do it alone. A motley crew of younger associates are assembled to enact his plan: Lenny Drake (Joseph Fiennes), Brodie (Liam Cunningham) and Viv Baptista (Seu Jorge). As they prepare to break out Frank's focus is distracted by the arrival of a young con James Lacey (Dominic Cooper) -- a reminder of days long lost. As the new kid on the block Lacey also attracts the sadistic attention of Tony (Steven Macintosh), the drug-addict brother of wing-king Rizza (Damian Lewis). Personality conflicts puts the escape in jeopardy and Frank is forced to find the energy and courage of the man he one was.

I seen it in Manchester a few days ago. This is a very real, gritty and hard hitting movie showing prison life in the raw. It makes the Shawshank Redemption look like Peter Pan. After watching this film you'll feel like you've just gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson, and you'll wonder if you won or lost :)

Reminscent of Jacques Beckers - Le Trou. Looking forward to it. Good to see Brian Cox in a lead role for once.
