It makes for an unexpectedly welcome form of dramatic escape: the character study breaking free from a hoary old movie genre.
Shapes a standard prison-break drama into a metaphysical study of freedom and reparation.
All of this mayhem keeps us watching, but it would be hard to describe the experience as pleasurable.
