Review of No Escape (2015) by Adam B — 27 Aug 2015

I will start by saying that this film blew me away. I mean I was excited for this film ever since watching the trailer months prior but I don't feel it did it enough justice by any means. I mean for a director who has directed the majority of his movies in the Horror genre John Dowdle hit a Home Run with this movie.

I will say that this movie isn't for the feint of heart there is a plethora of violence and it doesn't shy away from serious subject matter and the brutality of civil war. I loved the story while it was simple it was set up perfectly.

The story is Owen Wilson takes his family to Cambodia or somewhere near there for a relocation for his job and a coup starts up almost as soon as they land and I will leave it at that much. I personally loved Pierce Brosnan in this film he was a very gritty character.

I will move onto the acting and this is quick. I feel that everyone was spot on in that department. I will finish with the action it was dark,gritty and realistic. Go and Watch it.
