Review of No Escape (2015) by Ulla D — 17 Jan 2016

Definately intense though I could do with a lower body count.

Owen Wilson and Pierce Brosnan lead a cast full of strong performers in this movie about a family moving to Croatia to start a new life. While on the plane ride over, the family meets Hammond, on his sixteenth trip to Coatia. It doesn't take long for chaos to ensue, when Owen Wilson and his family get caught in the middle of a political revolution. His new job is working as an engineer for an American water company. Seventeen hours before the family's arrival, the leader of Croatia is assasinated, and now the rebels are killing all foreigners and anyone who helps them. To keep his family safe, Owen Wilson must work together with the rest of his family and Hammond to get them all to safety in Vietnam.

While this movie does have a positive message about the power of family and working together, the high body count and language make it a better choice for adult audiences. This movie doesn't shy away from violence and at one point, a gun is put in the hands of a child. This movie is definately not for kids!
