Woman escapes interrogation room using a quarter

January 11, 2013 3:43 PM

I'm pretty sure this was a movie, a woman is in an interrogation room with two way glass. Whoever is questioning her gives her a quarter and says to call someone who cares. He leaves the room, she smashes the edge to make a sharp bit, traces a circle on the two way glass and punches through.

I feel like this should be google-able but I can't remember the actress or anything else so my attempts have been unfruitful.

Hopefully someone else remembers the movie (or maybe a tv show?) thank you!

Sean Connery did this in the movie The Rock. His character had long hair for the scene, and it is exactly as you describe.
