Some actors are just past their prime. The ingredients are their... just not developed properly. A rewrite could do wonders. The child girl actor was great... very rarely does a child actor get me to dislike them so much.

Would Be A Lot Better If It Made Sense.
Not bad
This is slightly better than the average score suggests. The only thing that really lets it down is the ending - the audience is left hanging and I hate that. Why bother to tell a story and then deprive us of a satisfactory ending? This really seems to be a problem with film makers, they just seem incapable of rounding things off properly.
Other than that I have no real complaints. It has a slight TV Movie feel to it but the leads are very good, and the kids perfectly adequate. The story is interesting if not fully explored, and it moves along at a decent pace. There are a couple of silly moments slotted in for dramatic effect, but they don't overshadow the plot.
Anyway the moral of this story is if you have to go on the run, don't take kids with you. And of course the law is an ass, but then we all knew that.
Worth a viewing if you're not too critical.
This is a safe house
"Ticket Out" and "Breakout" are the same US TV film. Jocelyn (Alexandra Breckenridge) divorces her husband Dennis (Billy Burke) who she claims abuses her and the son. With no evidence, the judge in town Dennis' family owns, grants joint custody. Jocelyn is offered help by Jim (Ray Liotta) who gets them out of town with dreams of Canada.
Made for TV quality. Twist that wasn't that great. Acting and script sub-par.
