There’s simultaneously too much and not enough action in this intriguing, but underdeveloped story.

Clocking in at a brisk 94 minutes, "Escape," much like our hero, doesn't pause to catch its breath. Just when you think Lim will get a break, (director) Lee Jong-Pil throws in another twist to crank up the tension up until the last minute.

The cinematography is a high point of the film while the rest shines within its created images.

If you can swallow the improbable twists, Escape is a taut ride.
