A classic prison-break premise gets a bracing, time-shuffling twist in this tense, stylish thriller. Brian Cox delivers a typically virtuosic performance as Frank Perry, an inmate serving a life sentence in a British prison. When he learns that the daughter he hasn’t seen in over a decade is in serious trouble with drugs, he recruits a team of fellow inmates to pull off a daring breakout in order to save her. As the timeline shifts ingeniously between the planning of the escape and the execution, the pieces of the puzzle come together to startling effect.
