Review of No Escape (2015) by Wesleytomsky — 28 Aug 2015
This movie is CRIMINALLY underrated.
I found it scarier and more intense than any horror movie. There's a scene in a hotel room with where Lake Bell's acting and the camera angles make it some of the most threatening and terrifying film-making I've ever seen. The hard-r violence is essential to the film's effectiveness and while people say 12 Years a Slave is hard to watch, (I was unphased), No Escape left a knot in my stomach for a few scenes.
Owen Wilson does okay, but Lake Bell and Pierce Brosnan are who shine. You get so much emotion from Bell, and I wanted to kill these **** savages to protect her. Pierce Brosnan is such a hardcore badass, I only wish he had more screen time to kill more of them.
On the down side, there's a LOT of shaky-cam and one scene that has some of the most painfully bad cgi I've seen this decade.
Definitely worth a watch, a VERY intense thriller.
