No Escape

— Oh dear. This really is racist and “ripped from the headlines”. Although there’s no denying Owen Wilson’s fatherly zeal as he protects his family from harm, all the hype about this being so full of stereotypes you should avoid it at all costs is probably right. RogerEbert.com is correct when it says this is “a dreadful and creepily exploitative would-be thriller, low-grade trash that it is too silly and stupid to be as offensive as it frequently comes close to being throughout." I’m a little embarrassed to have sat through it.
