Breakout (1975)
An oddball actioner starring Charles Bronson as a small time pilot paid to rescue Robert Duvall from a Mexican jail by Duvall's wife as played by Jill Ireland.
At first i wasn't sure if this was being played for laughs but it improved as time went on and although the film was hardly gripping it still entertained. At first due to it's quirkyness and then thanks to a well filmed aerial escape from the prison involving a chopper, a plane and Randy Quaid pretending to rape Sheree North (Don't judge until you've seen it) in a thrilling climax.
Shot entirely on location, the Indicator Blu-ray looked rather pretty.
