Perfect cast and a good story
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The Jailbreakers is a well filmed but slight tale of criminal revenge that plays like a malnourished predecessor to Arch Hall's The Sadist. Three criminals (including a psycho gunman) are out for revenge against the man who ripped them off, three innocent civilians get wrapped up in the proceedings, and the picturesque ghost town used for filming virtually the whole picture looks great.
