Chairman Capone posted:Having just seen No Escape, I can't believe that Pierce Brosnan got so underused in an action movie, especially after how prominent he was in the marketing. But he's James Bond! He's a ringer! He does his thing then gets killed.

marblize posted:Is No Escape's marketing misleading about its "white people stuck in a forrrrreign conflict!!!" premise? Is it remotely subversive regarding that? If by subversive you mean "is the film not about that?" then no.

Did you also get the impression that it started life as a found footage movie?

I wasn't being snarky, I was asking "what is meant by subversive?"

I think it's totally fair to think that. I found that the film both indulged the cliches while subtly (visually) damning the protagonists every chance it got, which was the most clever but unsatisfying part of the film. It's very difficult for a film like that to have a "fair" point of view, but I enjoy seeing them try.

That was a nice "twist" ending.
