'Escape at Dannemora': David Sweat proves to be the man with the plan as Richard Matt panics after prison break

For the first time ever, Stiller has left viewers wanting more, with the episode featuring the actual escape turning out to be less exciting than anticipated
PUBLISHED DEC 17, 2018

The most recent and fifth episode of Ben Stiller's riveting, prison break drama, 'Escape at Dannemora', was perhaps the one episode that left a lot to the imagination. And not in terms of illicit, yet gritty prison room sex. For the first time ever, Stiller has left viewers wanting more, with the episode featuring the actual escape turning out to be less exciting than anticipated.

This was, perhaps, Stiller's way of keeping the sensationalized events of the Clinton Correctional Facility escape of Richard Matt (Benicio del Toro) and David Sweat (Paul Dano) in 2015, real. Matt turns out a tantrum thrower, and Sweat, the unsuspecting leader taking charge of the situation.
