Watched the preview. The movie is excellent and very thrilling. The director has transformed from a good horror movie maker to commercial thriller movie maker. There should be more marketing done for this movie. Must watch for all set of audience but for those who wouldn't ride into a roller coaster!

> In the ocean of orcas, a family of four penguins seeks a way out. It was one of those movies I've lost interest after seeing its trailer. When I decided to watch I had no expectations, but I liked the surprise it gave me. So much better and very entertaining with lots of nail biting momentum. You can't write a review for this without mentioning the terrace scene which was one of the highlights of the movie. Remember the 2013 flick 'The Impossible' about a western family while visiting Thailand for a holiday stranded and separated after tsunami struck. Feels like this one is kind of a sequel, because of the similarity and takes place in a neighbouring country, Cambodia. But here the visiting family has to face the threat posed by the men from and during the coup. Ups and downs in the acting career are very normal and keeping that pace is essential. Right now Owen Wilson is maintaining it well and a few 2016 releases are the most anticipated ones. Pierce Brosnan's decent limited appearance had a prominent part of the storytelling. Comparing recent wonderful movies, Lake Bell carried out phenomenal stage of her career. I thought it would be old fashioned like the 80s and 90s flicks about people trapped in a local conflict. If you are yet to watch it, I'll clear your doubt that it is the same old theme, but amazes you with many thrill scenes. So this movie is very enjoyable and you would have a good time. Not recommended unless if you're not looking for a masterpiece. 7/10

_**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. GRADE: A-/B+
