His hallucinations spiral out of control, he becomes more unpredictable and violent. Amelia, genuinely frightened by her son's behaviour, is forced to medicate him.\rThey are so many bad horror films out there right now that I'm pretty tired and sick of seeing, but The Babadook is not like those films. This horror movie did something that Annabelle or Ouija couldn't do, and that is try to be original and scary.\rBabadook is a movie that got under my skin if I got to be honest. The chilling and uneasy atmosphere and it's sense of fear that this movie truly nails it for me and not like most horror films today that lost that sense fear and just allow on lazy Jump scars. The acting in this movie was so real and so top notch that I got to say that Essie Davis did excellent in this movie, even the little kid did good.\rThe other thing that this movie get's right is the fact it says \"F'ck jump scares\", and tries to scary the viewing auditions and not be throwing loud sounds to make some people jump a little bit, no it goes for the good old fashioned method of a good horror film and that is showing frighting images that will stick in your mind until the movie is over.\rMy only problems with this movie is it's slow at the beginning and the ending to the movie was a bit ridiculous if I got to say.\rBut overall The Babadook is more than you're cliche monster movie, it focus on doubt's and depression which made the movie even scary, because if you got doubt's and depression running throw your head and meanwhile there might be something out there after you and your kid then it can mess with your mind and cause terror.",

And this is a rampant trend in the genre nowadays by a generation of filmmakers without the talent to create something smart or original and the faster they get weeded out of the industry the better, but that may not happen because of the incredibly low bar now story-wise. It's all technique and it's a total bore for the audience at the end of the day. And this small time junk has no business being in the wide 2:35 format which has been co-opted by amateurs.\rThere's a line in the film, \"Help, something is wrong with my son!\" Yeah, he's Australian.",

This film has no jumpscares what so ever and this is why some people may not like it as much as they expect to s**t themselves for a second and then be \"all is okay now\". The thing that makes the Babadook so scary is that it relies on psychological horror and it's engaging and complex storyline that can actually be dissected and analysed instead of most horror films typical \"this person is possessed, save them\" or \"there is a monster coming to kill us, we must run\" or \"there's ghosts haunting us\". This films psychological horror really is a breath of fresh air as it's eerie, dark and ambiguous tone and atmosphere really send shivers done your spine. This never makes you jump really, but more makes you feel uncomfortable and unsettled. The performances are spot on by Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman plays his role excellently: he seems annoying and ungrateful and then turns sympathetic and understandable. 10/10 for creating an original horror that good es back to it's roots; it wants to chill you for days instead of make you jump for a few seconds. One of the classics of horror now. 10/10. Bravo to Jennifer Kent for creating this masterpiece.",

One that had the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. The atmosphere of the house is unnerving. It's aged to creepy perfection and is dark in all the right corners. The film does a remarkable job of building up tension. Although part of that is due to the praise the film has received.\rAdmittedly part of the reason I was so worked up during so many scenes in this film is because of all the good things I had heard about it in regards to how terrifying it was. The actual results were a tad underwhelming. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the film and I always ended up wondering why afterwards. \"The Babadook\" is a genuinely unnerving villain in how it messes with our characters in the form of children books, but it fails to deliver actual frights upon it's arrival. I felt so stupid about shivering in anticipation over expecting a big scare that didn't end up happening. Still, I have to give it credit for keeping me on the edge of my seat. The pop-up books are also actually genuinely frightening and it does some weird stuff along the way.\rThe strength of the film though isn't in the horror aspect, an area it ultimately ends up under-delivering in, but in it's drama. It's a tale of love and loss. It expresses the danger of how holding someone accountable for some horrible moment can lead to dark consequences. The mother and son dynamic is played to perfection and the symbolism in excellent. It's a horror movie that is genuinely saying something and that elevates it from the pack of horror flicks that are out there now and just want to provide cheap thrills.\rWhile \"The Babadook\" isn't what the hype would have you believe in terms of being scary it makes up for it in other ways. It's a deep film with a mature message that may provide a few frights along the way. It truly is one of the best horror movies to come out in a long time. It's worth watching just for the pop up books alone. Those will seriously freak you out.",

This one has some killer direction, acting, sound effects, cinematography, and writing. The director, Jennifer Kent, did a fantastic job setting the mood of this one and knocked it out of the ballpark direction wise. For the aforementioned sound effects, they are truly what cause the scares. Much like in Alfred Hitchcock's classic film Psycho, the sound elicits a major reaction out of the viewer and really sets the tone for the scenes in which that sound is used. Brilliant. Honestly, this one of the most well-executed uses of metaphor of symbolism I have seen in a while, The Babadook is a brilliant film wrongly placed in the \"horror\" genre. Truly terrifying, The Babadook is more than just a horror film. It is a meditation on life and dealing with loss. It also made me screech like a high school girl being asked to prom by her crush in the way it used that symbolism and hit a home run with it (ahhhh flower symbolism ahhhh). While some scenes are classic horror in the way they elicit a response, the true terror is to be found underneath the skin and the way in which it hits home and brings a feeling to true terrifying life. Ultimately, I recognize this type of film is not for everyone, but The Babadook is a film that let's everyone know how grief feels and brings that feeling to life because ultimately, \"If it's a word or it's a look, you can't get rid of The Babadook\". Possibly the best film of 2014, this one is not a film you easily get over.",

"review": "Much less a horror film than a chiller, \"The Babadook\" was a complex and profoundly unnerving film. It really was very good at making me squirm uncomfortably in my seat. Its use of imagery and sound to unsettle me, rather than jump scares to catch me off-guard, made it a far more interesting and worthwhile experience. I was not frightened, per se, but I was certainly creeped out. Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman gave exceptional performances and I'm pleased Davis is getting so much critical recognition for her role, as she is unlikely to get much attention on the major awards circuit, which is a damned shame because she plays her role to perfection, embodying both the victim and the villain of the movie by its gut-wrenching end. I did not enjoy \"The Babadook\", I did not need to. If I enjoyed it, it would not have been half as good as it was.",

Luckally i don't have to pick and that 12 Years a Slave has the best chance to be the best movie in 2014.\rSolomon Northup is a well educated free black man that lives in Saratoga, New York with his family. While his family is off on a trip he decides to work for these people claiming to work for the circus he has dinner with the two men then starts to get sick they help him to his room as he is passing out. He wakes up after being drugged and is told he is now a slave heading to the south.\rHe ends up being sold to a man named Ford (Cumberbatch) a small mill owner. Ford takes a liking to Solomon but soon has to sell him to Edwin Epps(Fassbender) a crual and ruthless man so he can pay off his debt. Years go by and we see Solomon trying to survive but with each day and with everything he sees it get's harder harder for him to go on. Plan after plan of his keeps failing and he starts to think he may never go home.\rThe movie is so powerful and the unbelievable acting of Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Fassbender make this film a much watch for everyone I guess for some though it can be hard to watch at times. The cinematography from Steve McQueen was amazing and the Score from Hans Zimmer was breathtaking\rOverall i give it a 8.0",

It is not like someone who lost at sea for months or someone who trapped on an island for years. It is slavery, very cruel and harsh form of torture that takes one's freedom away.\rThis true story occurred back in 1841, nearly 170 years ago. A New Yorker Solomon Northup, a born-free black American was kidnapped and sold into slavery. So his journey into the dark world begins after he was assigned to work in various fields. It was incredible and unbelievable sad journey of those 12 years till he gets his freedom back.\rAfter the movie 'Shame' Steve McQueen retained his favourite actor Michale Fassbender to play in a prominent role for the third time for this historical epic drama. As usual, he became the ambassador to McQueen's movie along with great performance by Chiwetel Ejiofor. The movie was captured in beautiful places of Louisiana. The unknown supporting cast was also given great support with their small roles in the story.\rIt was a good adaptation, but dialogues were very weak. There's no strong lines said anywhere in the movie or any memorable and rememberable. I believed the movie transformed exactly as the book says, I mean the original edition one. This movie is not appreciable for its contents because it was evilfull, but for bringing back the truth to the todays audience. It was acknowledgeable hard work for the cast and crew. So this movie will be recognised in big stages that mean the Oscar is not far away to fetch for McQueen and Chiwetel.",

(When it ended, nobody in my theater moved for a period of time, and there was no round of applause mostly, it seemed, because of the shock of it all. Clapping didn’t seem like the right thing to do.) The fact that we experience the story from the perspective of a kidnapped free man makes the film instantly relatable. I was so happy to have watched all of Tom Fontana’s excellent “Copper” which features an African American civil war veteran doctor living in New York, and all of his family’s struggles in Five Points. Solomon, a New Yorker kidnapped from Washington DC, could be any of us. The Southern landscape as it likely existed in those days provides such a beautiful-yet- eerie backdrop to this movie. What I particularly appreciate the fact that all the shots are confined you never see very far into the distance. There’s never any perspective on things. When the boat transporting the kidnapped south moves, you see the paddlewheels. On the plantations, you see the three or four acres where the slaves live. You never get any aerial shots, which is so effective in giving you a disoriented, lost feel. Even if Solomon wants to escape, he has no idea where the hell he is, and neither do we. The acting in general is uniformly excellent. Fassbender? Wow. Not since Ralph Fiennes in Schindler’s List has an actor put out so completely for the detestable guy role and to such great effect.",

Overall, it's one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen! Fair warning though, watch at your own risk.",

HisDespite a melodramatic Hans Zimmer score, the worst kind of Hollywood fanfare imaginable for this tender piece of cinema, McQueen elegantly crafts 12 Years a Slave. His camera floats through fields of cotton like a ghost, lingers on the edge in wide shots as death hangs in the air, or races from character to character as intensity builds and blood flows from the backs of the innocent. His impulse is to move in towards Ejiofor's tearful eyes, reflecting action through a lens rather that simply showing it for gratuitous pleasure. There's much of Solomon's predicament that McQueen's film never quite penetrates, classist issues and relationships formed while surviving plantation life. But as an exercise in emotion, 12 Years a Slave is unflinching and artful. It's the closest we'll come to living out and feeling this tragedy. Director Steve McQueen's eye is better than his sense of pacing in the nevertheless devastating drama 12 Years a Slave, featuring a standout performance from Serenity's Chiwetel Ejiofor.",

"review": "12 Years a Slave is a powerful film that is brilliantly unflinching and impeccably made and may possibly be the most raw, real and accurate slavery films to come out in recent years (or maybe even ever). With fantastic acting from its amazing cast, brilliant and realistic set-design and an awe-inspiring original score by Hans Zimmer; this film is much more than the average Oscar-bait flick. The film, unfortunately, has its flaws; the fact that years were going by wasn't really illustrated properly, actors looked exactly the same as years went by and that felt very unrealistic to me and I also would have liked a more emotional reunion between Solomon and his family. In the end, 12 Years a Slave is a film that definitely needs to be seen, it is not perfect, but it is worth the watch.",

Not quite the masterpiece that I was hoping for but good never the less. Steve McQueen's direction has the scope of an epic but the feel is really quite intimate. The writing is so wonderful that at times it feels almost poetic and the actors articulate every word to perfection. Period detail is also tops and the cinematography is just ravishing in its beauty, possibly the best I have seen this year so far. The Music also, which has a similarity to McQueen's 'Shame', adds gravitas.\rAmongst a veritable feast of performances only Brad Pitt's indifferent turn fails to hit the mark. I was particularly impressed with Paul Dano (always a good baddie) as Benedict Cumberbatch's power obsessed over seer; Michael Fassbender as the cruel plantation owner; Sarah Paulson as his cold and jealous wife and Lupita Nyong'o as the tragic Patsey. In the lead role as Solomon, kidnapped from his home and sold into slavery for 12 years, Chiwetel Ejiofor conveys with frustration and anger the injustice of the situation in which he finds himself. It is a subtle and impressive performance which culminates in a well earned emotional pay of when he and his family are finally re-united. In all honesty it is only a slight over length and minuscule repetition that prevents this important story from achieving true movie greatness.",

"review": "For his next project, the big shot Hollywood director(in Sullivan's Travels) aspires to make a \"message film\" about the poor, but in the process, ends up demeaning the underprivileged class when he goes undercover dressed in hobo apparel as research for an adaptation of O Brother Where Art Thou, a dramatic piece that the studio hack is ill-suited for, since his filmography consists of profitable, but mostly forgettable comedies. In stark contrast to his lightweight oeuvre, John Sullivan suddenly develops a conscious; he wants to experience \"the real world\", a world he knows next-to-nothing about. Solomon Northup, albeit an imperfect analogue to John Sullivan, arguably, undergoes a similar journey. After all, how much did a free Negro have in common with a slave? The progressive north of 12 Years a Slave, where a black man and his family could walk down any street without hassle, doesn't at all resemble the real world, but more like the 19th century of some parallel universe. When Solomon wakes up, shackled, in a darkened cell, after two men, alleged circus promoters, the night prior, laces the fiddle player's wine with a sedative, it recalls the same topsy-turvy scenario that befalls John, who, after flaunting his wealth to the wrong hobo, from a boxcar, rouses from his incapacitated state and ends up becoming a slave to the state, just another felon in a chain gang, a prosperous man made anonymous. Sheltered entertainers both, skin color is the lone prevailing trait that the filmmaker and violinist have in common with their respective people. Despite being black, Solomon is separated by class. The bourgeois Negro, following his vicious indoctrination to the south, with a bloodied backside, kicks away the plate of slop laid down by his captor, an instinct predicated on upbringing and self-image, the same factors that compel John and the \"The Girl\" to reject the food they're served at a soup kitchen. When a fellow kidnappee counsels Solomon on their unlawful predicament, the musician speaks as if he lives in a vacuum, telling the other prisoner, \"I don't want to survive. I want to live.\" Well, so would his southern counterparts. This sociological differentiation rears itself most prominently on the cotton plantation, in a scene where Patsey, the slave whom Master Epps fixes himself erotically on, requests that Solomon help assist her in suicide, down by the river. With unintended hubris, he asks Patsey, \"How can you fall in such despair?\" Sure, being a slave for twelve years is cruel, but it's a sentence that pales in comparison to a lifetime of indentured servitude. \"God forgives merciful acts,\" ensures Patsey, who needs to convince Solomon that the perceived transgression is not a sin. God, always an abstract and malleable construct, according to Patsey, sees Negroes as people, not property, whereas in The Birth of a Nation, it's the latter, since God's cameo has the effect of sanctioning Flora's self-propelling dive from the cliff as, in Patsey's own words, \"a merciful act\", a suicide without biblical retribution, because her pursuant, a Negro, who in accordance with the film's ideology, would certainly have raped her. Solomon, never one to participate in Negro spirituals while working Master Epps' cotton fields, finally relents at a slave funeral. No more airs. The man who once told a hysterical mother to stop mourning so audibly for her children, realizes, at long last, that he is just another n****r. As an aficionado of high art, Solomon, undoubtedly, would not be caught dead singing \"Roll, Jordan Roll\" back home in New York amongst his white friends. But this is not the south that Ashley Wilkes waxes poetically about in Gone with the Wind. \"The high soft Negro laughter from the quarter,\" that he yearns for would be hard to hear over Patsey's screaming when Epps nearly whips the life out of her. In a film about slavery, there must be blood, serious blood, not puerile blood, like the Grand Guignol spectacle in Django Unchained. But to Tarantino's credit, the film does foreground the reactionary ideas behind the 1939 David O. Selznick epic, since Dr. King Schultz plays like an update of Rhett Butler, the blockade runner, who, unlike the bounty hunter, never develops a conscience about the slave trade after years of profiteering from it. The flashbacks of the runaway mandingo fighter being torn apart by dogs are Schultz's. With a start, we realize that his enlightened attitude towards Negroes was part of his role. He then breaks character; he won't shake Monsieur Candie's hand. When the faux dentist shoots him, he allows himself to be gunned down without a fight, as penance for being part of the problem; for simply being there, like Bass, Solomon's patron, who accepts payment in full for services rendered as a carpenter from slave owners. Although Bass can't shoot Epps, put Patsey on a horse, or blow up the plantation, he can write a letter.",

Interlaced with the present story that we're being shown'12 Years a Slave' amazes with its attention to detail and authenticity regarding the lives led by slaves. It was well researched and refrained from creating drama to add spice.\rFrom the very first scene, McQueen wastes no time in plunging us into the daily, ordinary lives of black slaves of the nineteenth century Deep South. Interlaced with the present story that we're being shown where the protagonist, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), is already a slave, a series of flashbacks flesh out his previous life as a free man in the North. He has a wife and kids, and leads a normal life just like the white people who surround him. He is introduced to people who promise him good income as a violinist in the capital. He agrees and leaves his family behind in New York for an intended period of two weeks. He is lulled into a false sense of security and drinks more than he should have. When he wakes up he finds himself in chains confronted by men who insist on calling him a slave.\rI got the impression that those of the African extraction who were born free are inherently different from those who were born into slavery. They think and speak freely and have a different view to life. Those who were born into slavery seem to have embraced their fate. There was an interesting scene where a slave walks into a shop and stares in amazement at Northup when he was a free man in New York.\rPaul Giamatti plays a slave-trader who has them stand naked as potential customers roam about and inspect them before making a purchase. He divides children from their mothers without a second thought. It is here that Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch) buys Northup. McQueen doesn't take it easy on the children we have seen just because we might have developed sympathy for them, for to do so would be a gross betrayal to the ones whose stories no one narrated and their anguish never revealed, and to keep them safe would suggest that this was the norm where in reality it might have been an exception.\rJohn Tibeats (Paul Dano) comes across as someone who never might have thought about the ethics of slavery once in his life. He is instantly recognizable. There are a lot of people like him who go about their lives without letting their thoughts stray into areas that demand serious discussions like philosophy, the arts, poverty, war etc. They came into this world to lead their lives like sheep, eating well, wearing and spending extravagantly, and having a general good time. If they were picked up and dropped into a time when slavery was legal, they would not once flinch or utter a word against it as long as they belonged to the group that was doing the slaving. Tibeats resents the fact that Ford has grown fond of Northup, and the latter's quick wit and high words offend him.\rNorthup's next owner, Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender), puts him to picking cotton in the fields with his other slaves. He derives his own interpretations from the Bible sanctioning slavery, and lashes them accordingly. Sometimes he has them brought into the house in the middle of the night and dance around. Epps's wife is jealous of a slave girl and abuses her constantly. She can't seem to grasp the fact that if her husband paid special attention to a slave, it was his fault and not the latter's. She constantly threatens the slaves and taunts her husband to be more tough on them to keep them in line. When she offers them respite, she expects gratitude. Husband and wife bring the worst out of each other. But Epps is the epitome of psychopathy. He bullies with his every word. It is a constant struggle for Northup not to incite anger and have his master lunge at him with murderous intention.\rDeaths among the slaves happen without any alarm being raised. Some of the black people have had it easy on them courtesy of their owners. They even had servants and slaves serving them in a few cases. Northup becomes a part of the community, but he still tries to reach his family and friends somehow to inform them about his situation. He trusts in someone who betrays him, and barely escapes death. Northup is finally able to reunite with his family, but not before we witness possibly some of the worst scenes of barbarity displayed anywhere on film.\rAt moments the score is so quiet it's almost imperceptible, but complements the scenes perfectly. The production design and costume design paints a vivid picture of the time. There's a simplicity and mundaneness to everything from the way the slaves toil everyday to their time spent privately. The film was edited with ingenuity. Both narratives develop side by side and complement each other. Instead of a beginning where we might have wondered when Northup was going to be banged up, we see him as a slave from the very first shot. And the flashbacks only come when they are relevant to the present story. Northup's character development was palpable and poignant.\rMcQueen has promoted himself to the A-list with this masterpiece of the highest order.",

It is one of the very few scenes that delivers all the hype that the movie has promised. All in all I found the movie very disappointing and realize that I am a minority having this opinion.\rThere were many scenes that director Steve McQueen holds 3-4 beats, if not 1-2 minutes, such as the 'song' by Tibeats (Paul Dano), too long and some photograph like frames, mostly of nature scenes, that combine to make the movie seem excessive diluting those times it should have moved quicker. Moving back and forth in time, instead of telling the story in a straight line, doesn't add anything and with repeating scenes, once again, elongates the story that would have been stronger if shorter.\rThe acting is certainly first rate though Michael Fassbender should be getting a lot more attention for his role as plantation/slave owner Edwin Epps, frightening in his drunken evilness. As Platt/Solomon, the freeman, who is kidnapped and sent to the south as a slave, Ejiofer carries the burden of the film as a victim who refuses to be one though at times he seems to be too passive as an actor, not a slave, for how he overcomes all that is thrown at him.\rThe rest of the cast, mostly cameos by Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Giamatti, Sarah Paulson and Alfre Woodard are effective though when Brad Pitt appears it takes you out of the movie because it is Brad Pitt.\rThere is nudity, none gratuitous, violence and cruelty, though except for the scene mentioned in the first paragraph and an attempted lynching scene of Northup, very little of it hit me emotionally\rBased on a true story about, and book written by, Northup and the publicity he received it is questionable that how and/or where he died is unknown.\rComes award time the movie and actors will be up for many awards but the bottom line for me is that I won't recommend it.",

"review": "It takes an emotional toll to watch Steve McQueen’s poignant 2013 BEST PICTURE winner of the Academy awards, adapted from the autobiography of Solomon Northup, a free black man is sold into slavery for 12 years in the antebellum United States.\rAs the third feature film from UK auteur Steve McQueen (after HUNGER 2008, 7/10 and SHAME 2011, 9/10), 12 YEARS A SLAVE is a metamorphic achievement for his director competence, comes to grips with the grave source material, and transposes the text into a visually stupefying and inwardly resounding piece of cinematic treasure, compels audience to vicariously undergo the trials and tribulations of Solomon (Ejiofor) and his fellow black slaves, and to corroborate us the price of freedom is hard-won merely 150 years ago, we might say we have far progressed above the stupidity and narrow-mindedness portrays among the white folks in the film, and slavery is rather an antiquated concept, however, whether this self-aware moral improvement has reached its end of line, or 150 years later, when we our progeny harks back, we will be plainly as anachronistic as those pathetic, barbarous and abominable predecessors.\rI digress too far, but I do intend to reiterate the value of this film, not because slavery is obsolete so we contemporaries have no urgency to watch it, in fact, we are in absolute obligation to reflect on those historic iniquity to alert ourselves not to recommit the same error, which we may agree, a large portion of people are treading the same water in the present climate.\rNow, back to the film, McQueen and his team, in particular the long-time DP Sean Bobbitt, are luxuriating in their meticulous composition of each shot, the long-shot of Solomon hung on a tree struggling to life with his toes tipped on the ground while no one care or dare to set him loose (in the background, several slave kids frolicking around) is strikingly daunting to behold, whether white or black, their mentality is ingrainedly impaired; intermittently, the breathtakingly picturesque topographic shots of the southern land (the bayou, the cotton field or the windy woods) seamlessly transition the chronicle into another twist or perturbation.\rThe central dramatis personae is electrifying to the core, Ejiofor whole-heartedly radiates in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and every single take lingers on his bubble-eyed physiognomy is unimpeachably soul-stirring, his immaculate dedication oozes Solomon’s despair, angst and persistence. Fassbender, McQueen’s fixed leading man, lends himself to the meaty villain role, the outright racist plantation owner Edwin Epps,the dichotomy of his libido-driven infatuation with the young slave girl Patsey (Nyong’o) and the iron-clad truth she will never be completely his possession, is the centrepiece which culminates in an appalling whipping sequence where McQueen unbendingly fixates on Patsey’s heartbreaking wail and the horrid lacerations, Nyong’o is no doubt meritorious for her Oscar-win with her debut, her final scene when seeing off Solomon to his freedom with both yearning (for herself) and felicity (for him) has been encapsulated with pitch perfect verisimilitude.\rFurther on, besides those three Oscar-nominated lucky ones, it is a handful of under-praised but equally memorable performances, Sarah Paulson (Mistress Epps), Alfre Woodard (Mistress Shaw) and Adepero Oduye (Eliza) all steal the limelight when their meagre screen-time is on, Paulson is brilliant with her glacial frigidity and sharp callousness, Woodard nails the most ambiguous role in the film with her composed utterance and Oduye brings about a burst of volcanic theatricality in her tête-à-tête with Ejiofor. By contrast, the other male side players are less prominent, Pitt is the ultimate messiah for Solomon, but reservedly underlit, and Paul Dano is on the verge of being typecast as someone either compulsively creepy or maddening annoying.\rJohn Ridley’s stern screenplay (the third Oscar win for the film) prunes the prolonged odyssey into a number of key chapters, carves out a clarified narrative arc while enlivening the jaded souls with terse lines full of understated connotations; Hans Zimmer’s score mingles with the movie’s awe-inspiring presentation of a history should never be forgotten, tallies with the credence of viewers’ spontaneity, unobtrusive, but superbly competent alongside this epic voyage, if you can stick to the very end, it is a film can sublimate your moral sentience, and Steve McQueen is a filmic wizard of sublime gravitas, at the age of 45, we can optimistically hope that his best has yet to come.",

Is it entertaining? Very.\rThe plot is horrible, but I mean, this movie advertised Owen Wilson getting his family out of a tough situation, and that there would be intense, gut wrenching, moments. On this front No Escape definitely delivered.\rThe acting was alright. Owen Wilson killed it. He should consider taking up more serious roles more often. His relationship with his daughters was amazing to watch and I wish I could have seen that relationship in a different movie. Lake Bell did not seem to even have much to offer the movie until the end, but I've definitely seen worse performances in movies of this genre. Pierce Brosnan is Pierce Brosnan. If you love him before this movie, you'll love him now, and vice versa.\rThe action sequences were amazing once they stopped using slow mo all the time. The first few scenes are extended out with slow-mo to the point I got bored. Even the roof top scene, which was a scene used heavily in advertising, is watered down by excessive amounts of slow mo, which was a major disappointment. However, as soon as they started using it they stop, and the action sequence become fun and intense again.\rOverall, No Escape is worth the watch if you don't want too think to hard. Sometimes these kind of movies are good, and No Escape has definitely earned its place.",

The story is about a family who move to Asia, and get ambushed by the government launching an all out war, as the family get stuck in the trenches, their only choice is escape from this hell. The story seemed like a good idea on paper, but when you see it in action, it becomes too damn predictable. Sure, there was plenty of violence and heart stopping chases, but it was mediocre and predictable. Pierce Bronsan was decent as an army soldier that helps the family. Acting overall was alright, I expected much more from these versatile actors. The action sequences are some of the most intense I have EVER SEEN. It may not be the best movie, but No Escape is very, terror filled, heart stopping and intense entertainment. It's a shame that these thrills couldn't be put on a better film.",

I will say that this movie isn't for the feint of heart there is a plethora of violence and it doesn't shy away from serious subject matter and the brutality of civil war. I loved the story while it was simple it was set up perfectly. The story is Owen Wilson takes his family to Cambodia or somewhere near there for a relocation for his job and a coup starts up almost as soon as they land and I will leave it at that much. I personally loved Pierce Brosnan in this film he was a very gritty character. I will move onto the acting and this is quick. I feel that everyone was spot on in that department. I will finish with the action it was dark,gritty and realistic. Go and Watch it.",

WellSo Owen Wilson is in this new movie “No Escape”, and this is a whole new role for him, based on his films that I’ve seen. This movie about Jack Dwyer and his family who move to Southeast Asia to start a new life. Jack’s company plans to improve the regions water, and he very quickly finds himself in the midst of an uprising of armed rebels. Essentially **** gets real, really real. Well that doesn’t quite cover it, but thats the way I’m going to put it. Honestly, I really liked this role on him. Not once did I think he was just being Owen Wilson, he becomes Jack, husband and father of two, who is just trying to keep his family safe at any cost. I’d like to rate this at a 9/10 because of the intensity and how enthralled I got with it, but that is a ridiculous rating due to the overall lack of plot. I don’t feel that takes away from it either, it ads to the experience in a way, you’re just as confused as the family. “No Escape” is quite the ride. You really start to think of the situation and how or if you would be able to handle it. Prepare yourself to jump throughout this and to see Pierce Brosnan be an badass.\rOverall this movie is for more of an experience rather than a overly deep story, but it keeps you with it for the 1 hour and 43 minutes of “damn what’s going to happen next?” A definite must see if you’re into the Action, Thriller genr",

He was in a movie called Behind Enemy Lines with Gene Hackman that really could be considered an action movie. Since then Wilson has become more known for comedies, voice over roles and family films. Wilson is good for this role because he is a relatable. No Escape wouldn't work with a big action star. Jack Dwyer (Wilson's character) has something to fight for and he is certainly not invincible, but he will take any risk in order to ensure his family's safety. I think that many people can relate to that. Lake Bell was also great as Annie Dwyer and I think that women could see themselves in her character.\rThere are several tense moments in No Escape that are excellent. The characters were in peril for much of the movie. Pierce Brosnan is disappointingly underused in this film but I think he was the best character in the film. He has his own problems but he is good for the sake of good and he bails the Dwyer family out a few times which can actually be one of the movies flaws. It seemed like Brosnan only appeared when the family was in a jam and it looked like there was no way out and then when he saved them he would be gone again. There is also a lack of development, there really isn't much of a backstory given for the main character but still overall No Escape is an exciting and very watchable film.",

I can't speak for those who didn't like it, but for a guy who loves an intense thrill, this movie hit the spot. I wasn't expecting much when I went in, but by the end there were tears in my eyes. Anyone who has a family could not help but be moved by the plight of this father and mother fighting for their lives and the lives of their children. Even days later, I find myself thinking about this movie and wanting to watch it again. If you find the trailer the least bit intriguing, you should not hesitate to see this movie. Don't listen to the nay-sayers, unless you are just looking for a warm and fuzzy feeling. In that case, there's always Jane Eyre.\rOn that note, critics don't seem to understand the idea that some movies are about an emotional experience: not necessarily plot or character development. For example, a critic would probably get on the newest roller coaster, scream through the drops and turns, and then give the roller coaster a 2/10 because there was no plot or character development. Those of us who love horror movies, end-of-the-world, and sci-fi/action know that sometimes a movie is about the experience. It's about how it makes you FEEL. Sure, the best kinds of movies have it all, but when you want a good scare, you don't watch \"Citizen Kane\". You watch \"The Ring\". When it comes to moves that are INTENSE, \"No Escape\" is number one without question. You can give it a low rating because you don't like how it makes you feel when you watch innocent people running for their lives, but you can't give it a low rating for emotional intensity. *end rant*",

Prior to this move Jack Dwyer(Owen Wilson) is offered a job in Thailand that he simply can't refuse. This leads him to move his entire family there. Soon there after a riot breaks out and the rioters plan to kill any and all foreigners. Now Jack must find a safe haven for him and his family before they to are are hunted down with no escape.\rNo escape is an all-around popcorn flick. That is the fact that must be examined while reviewing this movie. What I mean by this is I didn't have any expectation of an Oscar winner going into this movie. i was looking for a thrilling and energetic movie. Did I get one? Not really.\rI'm not saying No Escape was a terrible movie there were quite a few positives. For one Owen Wilson gives it his all and for the most part his portrayal of Jack Dwyer is very entertaining. Another good performance was that of Pierce Brosnan. He was mostly the comic relief of the movie and succeeded at that. Kudos to you Mr. Bond. I enjoyed the first half of the movie a lot. There was a genuine feeling of dread and some great shots. The cinematography was excellent and gave the film a dark and malicious vibe. The score played perfectly with the cinematography adding some serious suspense. I think the thing I liked most in the first half of the movie is that Owen Wilson was a normal guy not some secret spy trained in acrobatic espionage. The first half of the movie made him vulnerable and that's why it works so well.\rOnto the negatives. I absolutely despised the kids. The younger one was more tolerable seeing that in a situation like that someone that young would react that way. But the 11 year old was the worst. She had to be carried everywhere and was an all-round nuisance to not only her parents but to the audience as well. Equally annoying if not more was the constantly crying Lake Bell in her portrayal of Annie Dwyer. With three central characters this irritating its hard to sympathize. The biggest negative for me was the entire second half. The movie's shaky cam rises as does the utterly unbelievable plot developments especially someone's second coming. The film tries to add depth to the rioters by giving them a half baked motivation touched upon through 4 sentences given nearing the end. It, as expected, fails due to Dowdle's unwillingness to show Americans in a bad light. I think one of the final nails in this inescapable coffin is the fact that somehow in the course of 6 hours Owen Wilson is pulling of Liam Neason level moves. But, the single worst part about the movie was the ending. It was so far fetched and unbelievable that people in my theater left before the credits started rolling. The ending relied on an inside joke that no one really cared about in the first place. Just plain bad.\rI had fun with the first half of No Escape and painfully sat through the second half. I recommend seeing this movie and leaving around the 50 minute mark. Make up your own ending I guarantee it'll be better that the one actually put to the film. No Escape gets a C or a 4/10. There's no escaping the fact that this movie is plain mediocre.",

It seems that the better the actors are at bringing a scene to life, the more raw emotion the movie evokes, as this one undoubtedly did, the more there will be a movement of unwarranted ridicule, especially if the actors in the film are good, solid, authentic people in real life.\rEach of the stars' performances was entirely engrossing, powerfully believable, with all of the subtleties that give it depth, and the whole bit. EACH one of them NAILED it: Owen Wilson, Lake Bell, Pierce Brosnan, down to the two little girls, that I refer to as: Good Lord, where did they find these tiny, incredibly-skilled actors.\rIt was ABSOLUTELY suspenseful throughout -- but throughout. You should see the fingernail marks on my boyfriend's arm as proof. The script had no wasted words, and each line was delivered with enough mastery to make you feel like you were truly peeking in on these characters' intimate, crushing, and life-affirming moments.\rThe whole rumor that No Escape made the mistake of having an underlying theme of Westerners: good guys; foreigners: violent savages, is also bunk. The setting is in a Fourth World Country, where -- yes -- there would be violent movements of desperation, and the movie succeeds in reminding the audience of that same group's humanity and compassion -- again, throughout.\rIt was an amazing experience watching No Escape, and shame on all of you who just fell in line with the sabotage dumb-dumb train disguised with adverse, fancy-sounding jargon.",

You could feel the unbreakable bond between the family, the fear of survival, and the intense struggle of overcoming the obstacles that were thrown their way.\rI wasn't sure if I was going to like this movie or not, because normally action movies aren't my top picks. However, No Escape kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Honestly, as the end credits were rolling I looked down to find my bag still full of popcorn, because I literally felt like I was a part of the action within the movie.\rI am extremely shocked to see this movie get generally unfavorable reviews by the critics, because I thought this was one of the best movies from 2015 thus far. The plot didn't have much depth, however, this movie made you feel like you were a part of the family in the middle of the action.\rOverall, No Escape is a gut-wrenching thriller with a major twist. I encourage everyone to watch it and see for yourselves!!",

The feeling of riot is easily translated on-screen with fast editing and presentable family. Its perilous journey of survival is gripping and while it does have a few problems at latter half, it does enough for an enjoyable thriller.\rOwen Wilson plays as Jack, a father and husband who must relocate his entire family to an exotic country for his new job. Unfortunately for him, the moment he touches down on said country a widespread unrest happens. Angry local mob decides to kill foreigner for alleged economy monopoly, not the kind of activity you'd find on tourist pamphlet, and Jack now must use his wit and lots of luck to save himself and his family.\rVisual is its greatest strength. It has just the right touch of realism from the setting and over-the-top sequences for dire situation. For most of the time camera follows Jack very closely, almost as in documentary perspective but still manages to find the dramatic angles when needs be. It's a great vehicle to create suspense and it has just enough steam to be engaging until the end.\rJack's family of his wife and two little girls is definitely a decent on-screen characters. It plays the right scenes to tug sympathy from audience. When the moment these girls whimper plays, though the acting or material doesn't hit the realistic effect intended, might even be slightly cheap, it remains a palpable plot device.\rThe latter half fares slightly worse than its high octane opening. There are just too many Deus Ex Machina moments when stuff explodes or help comes at the nick of time to be believable. Furthermore, the propaganda agenda feels like it's shoehorned in, mainly to introduce Pierce Brosnan's character. The backstory of the danger itself is far from fully fleshed out.\rIt may feel implausible at times, but the pleasant details of the setting and presentation of the turmoil makes No Escape into a delightful action survival.",

The story is both generic and predictable, on top of that the story is a little too complex. Besides the story almost all of the characters have no development, besides Lake Bell's character who had a good amount of development. The villains were weak as they felt like nothing but faceless villains, if it weren't for one line of dialogue we'd have no idea why they are trying to kill these people. Lastly the camerawork is bad, there's absurd amounts of shaky cam, and the action sequences are almost impossible to follow. In conclusion the generic plot, weak character development and villains, and poorly shot action sequences make No Escape a mediocre action film, despite a good turn by Owen Wilson.",

On their first morning abroad, the fresh start is disrupted by an explosive coup and a subsequent wave of anti-Western mob violence. With the help of a mysterious, seasoned expatriate (Pierce Brosnan), the family fights to stay a step ahead of their pursuers and escape to bordering Vietnam. No Escape is a fast, vicious, and highly involving action-suspense film. Wilson (in a relatively rare, but not unprecedented dramatic role) and Bell exude convincing parental desperation and dismay, while Brosnan is a scene-stealing delight, if a tad underutilized, as the debauched, jovial, unshaven Man with a Past Who Knows the Lay of the Land. The film zips from one close-call-in-close-quarters set piece to the next, rarely pulling a punch in regard to violence and nicely maintaining momentum and a pervasive atmosphere of claustrophobia and paranoia. The specter of potential xenophobia is present (this is a film in which a sympathetic white family is contrasted with and pit against a thronging Other, and there will be those who ignore the quality of the acting and craft on display because of this), but the film admirably, if a tad halfheartedly motions to temper this by also indicting Western corporations' acts of exploitation and resource plundering in the Third World. I for one have no significant problem with a grind-house-spirited film such as this mining stranger-in-a-strange-land unease: the spatial disorientation, the inability to easily communicate, etc. After all, it is a real and recognizable experience and, by extension, a perfectly ripe subject for pulp entertainment.",
