The problem with 'Escape' is it's lack of narration. The Air Force has made this film into a docudrama, telling of how three men escaoed from an unnamed countries POW camp. The come up with a plan that really wouldn't work if someone was really smart, But, since the unnamed country's defense are apparently quite stupid, the 3 men escape the camp through a somewhat daring escape. Soon after, they figure out how to move, where it's safe to walk, and how to finally cross the border. THEN the narration kicks in. In my view, I think while the docudrama angle was interesting, I think this would have worked a lot better if the narration was increased a bit. At the end, for bonus points, are some written tips on what to do if captured.
