The movie "No Escape" currently on Netflix, caught my attention, so I decided to give it a watch. The premise of the movie is a father/daughter bonding experience takes a bad turn when their car breaks down. This causes a change in plans, resulting in a full day in a small town with nothing to do. That is until they discover an escape room. Escape room in a creepy small town, what could go wrong? From there, the basic concept is the escape room traps them with no way to escape, thus the clever title was sprouted "No Escape Room". If only a quarter of that thought was put into the 2nd, 3rd and 4th acts, this would have been an excellent made for TV movie.
I was excited when I found this movie on Netflix, I liked the concept and watched it from beginning to end. If I could rate the acts separately, I would give the first act a 9 out of 10. Acts 2-4, I would rate zero. This movie did make me feel like I was actually trapped in an escape room with no way to leave. Honestly, I will be asking Netflix to refund the cost of the movie from my monthly subscription. This movie would have been perfect for YouTube video categorized under "Movie Fails". I could be optimistic and tell you to give this movie a chance, but I'm afraid you would find me and make me watch it again.
