Poorly scripted, poorly executed & hyped junk

Last night i saw this film and i was badly disappointed by everything. Let me explain it to you.

I am not expecting a 1963 movie from 2023 standards but i saw it with pretty good expectations and also it had an imdb rating of 8.2 so, my expectations were not really low.

There were plenty of scenes where i was getting sick of it overall. The whole escape plan was absurd and whoever wrote the script was high on some drug. (i am assuming this is not based on a true escape). They made plan for 3 tunnels, tom, dick and harry and then later closed the other two and only went with one. Two would have been much sensible plan than one.

Secondly, the main and biggest turn off for me was, when they escaped out, their heads turned upside down and all of them started becoming lunatic. Everyone had to make some noise to attract the nazis to catch them again. They could lay low for a few days, and then escape quietly but all of them started making apparent that they have escaped. The only sensible one who managed to escape was the one who remained slent and under the hood.

Charles Bronson's character being claustrophobic was stretched too far. It also became painful to watch.

Now i come to the second biggest turn off for me. The almighty, the big foot -Steve Mcqueen- the moment you give him a motor bike (and as per his previous bike scenes from movies) i immediately knew that now he will bump himself into wires and blockades and will run the bike here and there aimlessly for greater screen time to show that he is Steve Mcqueen and he needs some heroic stunts to be able to sell more tickets in the theatre. He was an absolute pain in the back to see while he was doing aimless, useless and pointless stunts with bike all over those fields. The script writer went out of the way to give him more screen time. This was an absolute nightmare.

Even back in time, there were good prison break movies which were seriously made but this one was just a nightmare. 8.2 is totally not understandable on imdb.

I hope i didn't create waves for the classic lovers. This is what i felt.
