Review of No Escape (2015) by Schnitzelpoof — 19 Aug 2018
An intense film that really manages to confer the error that sudden brutality can bring to someone used to living in a civilized nation.
The children, however, reacted with an entitled stubbornness that doesn't seem likely outside protected suburbia, especially when people are being chopped with machetes a couple of meters away.
Pierce Brosnan got too little screen-time for my liking. I was hoping he'd play a bigger role, but that would reduce from the feeling of terrified suspense, which I guess is what the makers were aiming for.
They also managed to shove in an anti-western, anti-corporate message that nobody asked for, possibly to please the same people that hated the movie anyway for its "xenophobia.".
In summary, an above average experience, but nothing Earth shattering.
