I did like this film a bit. It is more linear... but it is a good performance for Daniel Radcliffe especially.

Escape from Pretoria never dares to imagine what lies beyond the prison walls.
Independent (UK)
Almost everything that's enjoyable is a variation on stuff you've probably seen in superior prison movies, though Radcliffe's haunted performance is exceptionally compelling.

Escape From Pretoria - also set in South Africa, also based on a real-life story - is, sadly, also a fail.

Rating: 3/5 --
Annan knows how to grip, his story accelerating with a jittery rhythm, while Radcliffe's eternal earnestness fits the bill neatly.

Financial Times
Annan's film works effectively as a straight-up jailbreak thriller, well-oiled in greasy B-movie tradition. It's when it shoots for more historical import that it falls somewhat short.

What ensues is a familiar prison-escape tale with not enough story or tension to really grip.

Product Description:
Director Francis Annan's prison thriller is an adaptation of South African political prisoner Tim Jenkin's memoir "Inside Out: Escape from Pretoria Prison." It stars Daniel Radcliffe, Ian Hart, and Daniel Webber in a tale about political prisoners who conspire to break out of Pretoria Central Prison in 1979 during South Africa's tumultuous apartheid era. The promise of freedom is dependent on making fragile wooden copies of their jailer's keys and nerve-wracking timing.
