      It can only be said that it is a film that does not respect other countries

      Saw it at a friend's house in Costa Rica. After dinner, everyone lay on the sofa and watched a movie together, using Netflix, similar to the Xiaomi Mi Box. Although there are many in the movie, called No Escape, it tells the story of the protagonist and his family who traveled to Cambodia, encountered riots, and finally escaped to Vietnam.

      The most important thing, there are too many absurd places. The film does not directly say which country it is, but seeing the Khmer language all...

      Ordinary feelings of ordinary people watching ordinary movies

      The background and historical relations are set aside. From the director's length, it can be seen that it is simply a brushstroke. It doesn't make you worry about it. The pacing of the single-talk movie is very tight. At one point it was impossible to blink. There are individual plots that are a little far-fetched, but they are worth 4 stars. The viewing experience is comparable to that of the first Hurricane Rescue. After reading the film reviews, many people said that the little girl...

      "Nowhere to Run" - The country is so big, but there is nowhere to run

      I thought it was a comedy, but after watching it, I found out that it is not a comedy at all, and it is a film accusing war and politics.

      After a few trips to Southeast Asia, I have a lot of feelings for this land that is very close to me but far away psychologically. And "Nowhere to Run" is precisely such a film, which tells the story of the turbulent regime in Southeast Asia. This film does not specify which Southeast Asian country it is, but the turbulent current situation and cruel...

      Ups and downs are the key

      It is true that the starting point of the plot of this film stems from a pair of unqualified parents - rashly taking their children to live in a dangerous place?
      However, the whole film focuses on saving children and saving families, and deduces a series of ups and downs. What is even more commendable is that the couple in the film are not deliberately masked, but are constantly ups and downs, giving up, struggling, being strong, Persistence, collapse, and mutual encouragement are switched...

      nowhere to run

      Expansion of capitalism, multinational corporations make huge profits while squeezing the labor of the third world. More determined to continue to support local bussiness. The rhythm of the first half of the film is good. Later, Hammond turned on the protagonist's halo mode, and let the little girl choose to shoot her father or shoot herself to force conflict and sensationalism, which is boring.

      The female main body is of good quality, and she can still fight very well in times of...

      Oh, it's really the whole process that brings my heart to my throat! ! I watched two episodes of the "Peace Ark" TV series before. It always whetted my appetite. I didn't watch it, so I randomly came across this film to stimulate my nerves, and then... I was scared to death. Mom is really strong. It’s good that they have a halo in their family and they have good people to help them. The few rounds they threw the two children from the opposite side of the building saw me, oh yo, suffocated, but...

      I always feel that there is something wrong with the screenwriter's mind. The wife suddenly ran out at the temple and made her daughter take a gun at her father by the river. The atmosphere was tense at the beginning, too...

    Movie plot

    A Southeast Asian government cooperated with multinational companies to vigorously develop infrastructure in underdeveloped areas. American engineer Jack ( Owen Wilson ) was therefore sent to the company to take part in the project development with his wife and daughter. Jack thought he would be able to start a new life in Southeast Asia with the shadow of the coconut trees, but angry local residents broke out because of the...

    The director's style is quite rapid. The film is full of hand-held photography and animation. The rhythm of the plot progresses very well with its thin plot ("New York Times" review) .
    Unfortunately, the film cannot avoid the misleading political elements and the overly dramatic narrative, and it eventually collapses at the climax and ending (Chicago Tribune Review) .
    An absurdly ridiculous, monotonous to annoying action thriller, its...
