The critics are dead wrong this some racist film but they are correct this it is a horrible movie. Nothing is explained and the mindless action complements nothing. The movie is a massive failure.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No Escape is boring, and besides a few action scenes, the film bore me. But when he was throwing the kids roof to roof that was scary, and when the guy almost made the girl shoot the dad, that was super scary.… Expand

An incredibly racist offensive movie. A shame for the actors, director, writers.

If you can get over the gross racism of the whole thing.
If you can get over the pitiful explanation Pierce Brosnan has to deliver over why the whole situation happens.
Iif you can get over the massive cliché of the man and woman role.
f you can get over Lake Bell who does not seem to be able to play anything else than a frightened woman in all her roles.
If you are american, and firmly believe the world around you that is definitely out there to murder you, rape your wife and enslave your children.
If you think the whole Taken franchise is the best thing cinema has to offer.
If you ever got out of your country to always travel inside resorts and fully inclusive solutions.

Then yes you might like this shame of a movie.
Owen Wilson gives what he can, though he should seriously think about what kind of message he wants to give his face to.
This movie is an insult to its viewers and the whole south east asian region.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most racist movie filled with the whiniest family to ever family in the movies.

I admit, my family experiences with guns, violence and actual life and death situations probably makes me less forgiving of the family then others. The children constantly whine, cry and are useless. If this truly was how humans were, we would have died out millenia ago. This isn't what I have seen children do in real life. They react pretty quickly and are capable of things in high stress situations that I think most Americans don't realize.

The worst thing about the family itself, out of all the crying, inability to stay quiet or to listen to their parents the fact that Owen Wilson carries his smaller daughter pretty much the entire time is the thing I focused on for some reason. Let's not even talk about how impossible physically that would be for him to carry her. I am a very large, strong man and I can tell you that would last about 10 minutes. The worst part is the child is physically capable, you are endangering her and yourself by slowing both of you down carrying her EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU WALKED DOWN A STREET, it was just super annoying and I just wanted to scream at the tv.

The attempted rape scene, and make the kid try and kill her father scene were some of the most lazy writing I have ever seen. I have issues with rape scenes to begin with. They are almost never really part of the story, rather they are a lazy way for the writers to make the bad guy even badder, and the man a hero (almost never is the woman a hero because of it). People have done way better writing on then I, so I won't go too much further.

For the racism part, I can't even begin to cover how racists the movie was. The whole comment when they arrive in the city is how they are in the "Fourth World" not even the "Third World" is such a bigoted, privileged point of view that isn't even right. The USA is not the best in technology, not the best in internet, hell it isn't the best in food or happiness index. We pretty much are only best in military and as a western country, pushing our religion (both are horrible by the way). The treatment of another country in the stereotypical tropes we "assume" other countries are like and how those people act is pretty repulsive. There is a whole slew of other racist things, but the review doesn't merit a huge in depth discussion.

I do have to say I was surprised that Vietnam was the positive thing in this movie. It was for only thirty seconds, but it was nice to see.

The good: Pierce Brosnan and Vietnam.

The bad: The entire family, but especially the wife and daughters. I kept hoping they would fall off the building.… Expand
