Review of No Escape (2015) by Thegodfatherson — 25 Aug 2015
It was intense, all right, I gotta tell you that. But, as a movie, No Escape falls apart faster than you think. Owen Wilson didn't deem fit for the role, I mean like I KNEW from the moment the trailer dropped that this was bad casting.
He is a comic actor and seeing him in a serious role was out of the bloom and unexpected. The story is about a family who move to Asia, and get ambushed by the government launching an all out war, as the family get stuck in the trenches, their only choice is escape from this hell.
The story seemed like a good idea on paper, but when you see it in action, it becomes too damn predictable. Sure, there was plenty of violence and heart stopping chases, but it was mediocre and predictable.
Pierce Bronsan was decent as an army soldier that helps the family. Acting overall was alright, I expected much more from these versatile actors. The action sequences are some of the most intense I have EVER SEEN.
It may not be the best movie, but No Escape is very, terror filled, heart stopping and intense entertainment. It's a shame that these thrills couldn't be put on a better film.
