No Escape (2015)

"I don’t know if I’ve walked into a screening with less confidence than No Escape this year. It’s seemingly an action film starring Owen Wilson (ruh roh!), co-starring Pierce Brosnan who despite being a worthy Bond still delivers most genres better than action, and Lake Bell for whom this week’s Man Up seems a much more apt piece of casting."

"There’s no escaping the movie’s hand-wringing manipulations and pandering sense of privilege."

"Takes pains to pause for some unconvincing speechifying about Western meddling abroad, but its showbiz racism gets an infuriating pass."

"A lot of locals have to die, the film suggests, in order for one white family to survive."

"A film you’d want to recoil from taking seriously, so it’s almost a relief that its bungled execution makes this actively impossible."

"The nice-westerners-v-murderous-foreigners vibe ... blossoms into shrieking xenophobia."

"A pedestrian but modestly gripping nerve-jangler."

"Even ignoring the racism — which is pretty much impossible — No Escape is a cliché-ridden, artless relic."
