Cinephile No. 530 “No Escape”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

What "No Escape" lacked in a story, it more than made up for in the constant push of fight or flight. Seriously, if you are looking for an in-depth geopolitical thriller, this movie is not for you. The reasons behind the constant push are barely mentioned nor are we totally sure what country the unrest is taking place, but the push is what makes this movie. It is a film that is never still. The director only allows a few opportunities for you to catch your breath. Caught? Good, because they are off again. Normally, this isn’t my kind of movie, but the pace was refreshing and there was something endearing about Owen Wilson’s character and his love for his family. So, give this one a chance. I think it might surprise you.


Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
