Ray Liotta helps a beautiful blonde escape her ex-husband in wintery landscapes An American mother (Alexandra Breckenridge) takes her young son & daughter and flees her abusive ex, who has visitation rights (Billy Burke). As she travels from east to west in January, she is helped by a mysterious man involved in some kind of escape network (Liotta). "Ticket Out" (2012) is an entertaining inter-state chase flick with top-of-the-line locations and quality winter ambiance, not to mention a couple of unexpected (but welcome) shoot-outs. Alexandra is a winsome protagonist and Burke makes for a quality villain while Ray’s character is charismatic, but enigmatic. The flick explores the complexities of parental rights and what’s good for the children, as well as the moral conflict between doing what your profession or the legal system demands and what you know is right in your heart. Despite its release date, the film was shot from December 14, 2008, to March 14, 2009. It runs 1 hour, 30 minutes, and was shot in Iowa (Des Moines, Newton, Indianola, Prairie City and Adel); Badlands, South Dakota; Caribou-Targhee National Forest and Grand Tetons, Wyoming. GRADE: B
