There is something elegant in the way 90s thrillers (and more generally movies) are made. I have some questions about the story (why would they put the maximum security prisoner in cage in a non-secure building, like a piece of modern art in a museum), but overall had a good time.

Anthony Hopkins is terrific! The body language, the expression, the gaze. The directing is like a suit tailor-made for his acting.
