No Escape is a 2015 action thriller film directed by John Erick Dowdle and starring Lake Bell, Pierce Brosnan, and Owen Wilson. The movie is about an American family that moves to Southeast Asia for work, but they soon find themselves trapped in the middle of a political uprising. The movie starts off as Jack Dwyer (Owen Wilson) moves to an unnamed Asian city with his wife Annie (Lake Bell) and his two daughters Lucy and Beeze. Jack is thrilled to start working for a company that is building water pipelines in the country. But they soon realize that things are not going to be as easy as they thought. Shortly after they arrive at their hotel, they hear news of unrest in the city. That night, while they are out for dinner, the family witnesses a brutal execution of a politician by a group of rebels.

The next morning, they wake up to even more chaos in the city. The hotel and the streets are filled with people running for their lives. The local radio station broadcasts a message declaring a coup d'etat by rebels who are taking control of the government. The family's hotel is soon raided by the rebels, who are searching for any foreigners to capture or kill. Jack, Annie and their two daughters barely manage to escape, but they are soon trapped in the middle of the uprising.

The movie is fast-paced and intense, as the family tries to stay alive in a city that has become a warzone. They are constantly on the move, trying to avoid the rebels who are hunting them down. They witness horrifying acts of violence, and are forced to make difficult decisions to ensure their survival. They eventually meet up with a lone British intelligence officer named Hammond (Pierce Brosnan), who helps them navigate through the hostile city.

No Escape is a gripping movie that highlights the horrors of political uprisings and the lengths that people will go to survive in extreme situations. The film's action sequences are well-choreographed, and the performances of the cast members are convincing. Owen Wilson, in particular, delivers a dramatic performance that is quite different from his usual comedic roles. Lake Bell also puts on a strong performance as a mother trying to protect her children. Pierce Brosnan, as the rakish spy, adds some much-needed levity to the situation.

The movie is also a commentary on the political instability in some parts of the world, and how Westerners can be caught in the middle of the conflict. The film doesn't offer any easy solutions to the issues, but it does provide a glimpse into the fear and desperation that people experience in such situations.

Overall, No Escape is a thrilling movie that keeps the audience on edge from start to finish. It is a well-crafted action thriller that presents a realistic portrayal of the dangers of political uprisings. If you are a fan of intense action movies, this is definitely worth a watch.

No Escape is a 2015 thriller with a runtime of 1 hour and 41 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.7 and a MetaScore of 38.
