The action of the movie takes place to wholly around, Ron Perlman, a corrupted and a cold blooded sheriff in this recent Western, who is tracking two noble sheriffs who have been lost their job because of the poor records and they are searching for the escaped convict in order to win back their position, and making it difficult for them to arresting the convict.
A pastiche of western tropes too tongue-in-cheek to sell its dramatic intentions, but just sincere enough to smother any intimations of parody, "The Escape of Prisoner 614" never commits to a consistent tone.
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.
Despite amiable performances by a great cast, this bantering seriocomedy about two sort-of deputies tracking a prison escapee in the Catskill Mountains is a sub-Tarantino dud.
