Expression I don't understand
This is the beginning of the movie "Captain America: Civil War"

Steve Rogers: Alright, what do you see?
Wanda Maximoff: Standard beat cops. Small station. Quiet street. It's a good target.
Steve Rogers: There's an ATM in the south corner, which means...
Wanda Maximoff: Cameras.
Steve Rogers: Both cross streets one way.
Wanda Maximoff: So, compromised escape routes.
Steve Rogers: Means our guy doesn't care about being seen. He isn't afraid to make a mess on the way out. You see that Range Rover halfway up the block?

What does "compromised escape routes" mean?

What does "compromised escape routes" mean?

Answer

If the escape routes are compromised, they won't be as effective. So, they should possibly find another way to escape :)

Answer

"Compromised escape routes" means that the possible ways in which they could escape had become unsafe. 
In this example there were cameras trained on the streets, which meant that they could be seen. This means their escape was compromised.  They can still escape but it is more dangerous.

Answer

no longer safe escape routes.
