_**What if you’re a Westerner and get stuck in a political uprising in Southeast Asia?**_

An American family moves to a country in Southeast Asia that borders Vietnam but suddenly find themselves in the midst of a coup. Owen Wilson plays the father and Lake Bell the mother. Pierce Brosnan is on hand as a Brit that helps them out.

"No Escape" (2015) is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that tackles a real-life possibility. What happens if you’re unexpectedly thrust into a situation where you HAVE to protect your family? Would you kill to survive? This is like “The Killing Fields” (1985) in the modern day, albeit way more compelling and succinct.

It’s nice to see Owen in something serious; he plays the every-man role well. Meanwhile Lake ain’t no slouch and Brosnan kicks axx in a peripheral part.

The film runs 1 hour, 43 minutes, and was shot in Thailand.
