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

Owen Wilson, a businessman from America, packs up his family and follows his job to Asia where he is surprised by a violent political revolt. The first day of their new journey in Asia turned into the start of the most terrifying experience of their lives. You could feel the unbreakable bond between the family, the fear of survival, and the intense struggle of overcoming the obstacles that were thrown their way.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this movie or not, because normally action movies aren't my top picks. However, No Escape kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Honestly, as the end credits were rolling I looked down to find my bag still full of popcorn, because I literally felt like I was a part of the action within the movie.

I am extremely shocked to see this movie get generally unfavorable reviews by the critics, because I thought this was one of the best movies from 2015 thus far. The plot didn't have much depth, however, this movie made you feel like you were a part of the family in the middle of the action.

Overall, No Escape is a gut-wrenching thriller with a major twist.
