“Survive together or die together”
Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “An intense international thriller, NO ESCAPE centers on an American businessman (Owen Wilson) as he and his family settle into their new home in Southeast Asia. Suddenly finding themselves in the middle of a violent political uprising—a coup; they must frantically look for a safe escape as rebels mercilessly attack the city and execute foreigners. Directed by John Erick Dowdle and written together with his brother Drew, NO ESCAPE stars Owen Wilson, Pierce Brosnan and Lake Bell.”
PLEASE share your observations and insights to be posted here.
Despite feeling quite realistic, there are a few American clichés at moments that drag down the movie. What would you do to survive with a family in the middle of a war? This movie is a great reminder that this is happening in some countries with people dying in the streets everyday. But ultimately, we know that God is a good god and that in the end, the light will overcome the darkness.
