    Low rating because not big stars

    It is a good movie. Acting was very good. The low rating reflects reviewer's prejudice over there not being big name stars in it, IMHO. The humor was great, regardless of some snooty reviewers thinking it weakened the story.

    Better than expected!

    This movie actually surprised me, after the last few lifetime biopics I saw I didn't have very high hopes for it. But the acting in this was great and they pretty much covered all the events that happened from beginning to end. If you like lifetime movies I would definitely check this out!

    Bad Cast, Bad Story Bad Movie

    I realise movies are no match for the classic 1940s, This movie has no boundaries for boredom, if anyone can watch the whole movie they deserve a medal, I feel the whole show lost the plot and is totally pathetic.

    Seduction and betrayal

    A film about seduction, betrayal and 2 cons who used all their charm to seduce a prison work supervisor into helping the cons to escape. Highly recommend this film.

    Yep. A Lifetime movie. Not to be confused with Hallmark.

    I am not sure how I ran across this, but decided to watch it. Could not help be compare it with Ben Stiller's brilliant Escape at Dannemora limited series. It didn't quite meet the criteria. Guess it's like saying a high school production of Hamlet didn't compare to a West End production.

    BUT! I did learn a few more things.

    All in all, people should be aware when they are being 'courted' by cons. Cons in jail or in school or at your job. Cons are cons. They are everywhere and they are men and women.

    Was she naive: No doubt. We all are at one - or 10 - times in our lives.

    I did work in a federal prison for a brief time and some of the prisoners were very charming. And they could certainly spin a tale. The trick was to smile and let it go. Too bad she couldn't.

    This is an interesting story and if I could only watch one, I'd watch the Ben Stiller version, but this one was okay.
