Review of No Escape (2015) by Tofewviews — 12 Sep 2015

So Owen Wilson is in this new movie “No Escape”, and this is a whole new role for him, based on his films that I’ve seen. This movie about Jack Dwyer and his family who move to Southeast Asia to start a new life.

Jack’s company plans to improve the regions water, and he very quickly finds himself in the midst of an uprising of armed rebels. Essentially **** gets real, really real. Well that doesn’t quite cover it, but thats the way I’m going to put it.

Honestly, I really liked this role on him. Not once did I think he was just being Owen Wilson, he becomes Jack, husband and father of two, who is just trying to keep his family safe at any cost. I’d like to rate this at a 9/10 because of the intensity and how enthralled I got with it, but that is a ridiculous rating due to the overall lack of plot.

I don’t feel that takes away from it either, it ads to the experience in a way, you’re just as confused as the family. “No Escape” is quite the ride. You really start to think of the situation and how or if you would be able to handle it.

Prepare yourself to jump throughout this and to see Pierce Brosnan be an badass.
