After two deputy sheriffs lose their jobs because of poor arrest records, they pursue an escaped convict to try and win back their badges. Nabbing the convict won't be half as dangerous as facing the ruthless sheriff who is tracking their every move.

1.5/4

Jokes fall continually flat, while any scene calling for even a modicum of dramatic heft is obnoxiously unimpressive.

Writer/director Zach Golden, making his feature debut, does all right by the silly but warmhearted character dynamics and the retro-diner humanism.

A handful of fine actors are wasted in the limp comedy "The Escape of Prisoner 614," a period picture that never figures out exactly what it's spoofing.

More of an absurdist comedy than an uproarious one, this mostly works because McDorman and Starr play things completely seriously.

... doesn't have the satirical dexterity to generate any substance beyond its slapstick shenanigans.

4/10

Flimsy, weakly-scripted, wannabe satirical Western that never takes advantage of its talented cast, particularly Ron Perlman and Sondra James.

22 shots fired from two 6 shot revolvers. That sums up this movie.

It was not good not horrible. The writer I think he hit a home run with the characters, he did not. Don't waste your time.

The facial expressions (esp. by Ron and Martin) and timing are just well thought out and yet so natural. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon.

Ron Perlman should stick racially abusing innocent school kids than churning out garbage like this.

A goofy movie I wasn’t sure I would finish watching but did and liked how it ended.

Kind of a letdown given what I could hope of from a Ron Perlman/Martin Starr team-up, but pretty much exactly as bad as I suspected it might be based on the trailer.
