“Escape From Pretoria” (*** out of four) was an absorbing political prison thriller set in the apartheid days of South Africa in which two captives (Daniel Radcliffe and Daniel Webber) refused to accept their lengthy prison sentences and worked together to conspire to escape to freedom. Yet another image-altering and challenging role for Radcliffe who is compelling and convincing and works well with Webber in a story that is completely gripping and involving. Ian Hart and Nathan Page are superb in supporting roles as a prison mentor and prison guard.
