It is a time that imposes the effect of panic to the viewer explicitly alienating the viewer. The very specific time moment recreated in the film is timeless. This concept puts more effect to the theme of love showing Butch is protection to the young in society. In this side, he stops Mack from regularly abusing Cleveland and further, protects Phillip even after shooting him. Implicitly through the same character, he is someone who cares for children. Crime is therefore part of his character from the past. Explicitly, when Butch realizes that Mack and the family have realized who he is, he plans to kill them. Mirroring draws a reflection a facet in a number of characters, especially in the hostage side. Therefore, gender reveals the women’s strength in this film, through the use of the fore-said female characters. It emphasizes on the ability of the females to accomplish both the domestic domain roles like the ones of Phillips mother, of raising her kids, and that of public domain an example of the Criminologist on trail to hunt for the criminal and hostage before they get to cross the border. Gender plays a critical plot development role. All this develops the thematic aspects like love, care, hatred and protection depicted in the film through the characters discussed. A negative relationship is that of Butch and Mack’s family through the plan to kill them. Further, Phillip has protection to Mack and the family from being killed by Butch. In a positive case to this, Butch who is considered to be a criminal is noted to have protection children like Phillip his hostage and Cleveland, who is Mack’s grandson who gets frequently abused by Mack a fact that Butch does not subscribe to. Familial relationships are not exclusively defined by blood as they transcend genetics. And for the case of Red, he seeks to convict Butch who is together with Phillip and render justice with no other thought of option. Phillip a hostage does not subscribe to crime as he does not allow Butch to kill Mack and the family. Through a prison break by Butch and Jerry with the need to Flee, Butch further plans to commit a crime by wanting to kill Mack and the family. The characters do not tend to change their present or even future. This is through Butch getting to allow him with consent to participation into all along lifetime forbidden indulgences that were not religious compatible with him. The film subscribes to morality, because of the view it emphasizes on giving a different perception of Halloween celebrations to Phillip who was entirely brought up in a religious background. The intersecting undertakings in the last part of the storyline distinguish the three backgrounds that have different teachings, in seeking for expected justice. Red a representative of law is seen to be discharging his duties as in the story line is seen to be in the entire need to capture Butch alive after a plan to kill Mack’s family when they realized who he was. This does not match to the teachings given to Phillip as he was brought up in a religious manner evident as he never participated even in Halloween. Butch represents the true criminal culture through his actions of prison break, murder of his fellow convict and abduction of the eight year old boy. In comparing and contrasting three cultural types, of criminal, legal and religious, Butch, Phillip and Red are of importance. Adventure is through an epic distant journey in escape of crime on the offense being committed by the convicts escaping. Action is through the Adventure, with a risky turn. In a high profile, the genre blends action, adventure, crime and faction types of genres. The film genre expectations are subverted in the manner to which an expected judicial process for the Huntsville convicts at long run does not take place.
