No Escape is brutal. So brutal in fact that this movie only has a 14 rating in Canada. This movie is not for 14 year old teens at all. This movie has a sexual assault, people getting run over, people getting shot, rioting and to top it all, a barbecue chihuahua. This should get a R Rating in Canada and an NC-17 in America because this movie is so brutal and violent. But that doesn't mean the movie is not good, it's amazing!
The story settles around a family moving to a South Asian country where the prime minister of that country is killed and war is on the streets. Jack Dwyer's family must escape to the Vietnamese border before they are killed.
Let me just start by saying that yes, the movie can be xenophobic which tends to lead to unpleasant scenes, but the movie is about a political disaster that forces people to take action against the Americans because they think they were the race responsible for killing the prime minister. So there is a reason for this.
But still, The Dowdle Brothers are the new masters of the Thriller. Their style is one of the strong points of this movie, with the beginning being one of my favorite scenes of this year, the movie is shocking and intense with many things happening all at once, the film leaves a powerful impact on all but a few of it's viewers. The cinematography is unbelievable and stunning, scenes like jumping across a roof top thrilled me, and it leaves you feeling rewarded at the end.
No Escape is one of my favorite films of the summer and it's a good film to go off with a bang. A must see! If you can't see it in theaters, buy it on Blu Ray!
92/100 A-
