No Escape is a thriller movie in which a US family relocating to undisclosed South East Asia Country become caught in a violent coup against the ruling regime and start killing the Americans.

What I like about this movie:
 - Because this is a thriller that you can feel the characters' feelings.
 - Because you literally can't breath from the start of the action til the end.
 - Because it was beautifully done even though you can't understand of the local language (unfortunately, no subtitle).
 - No matter how violent the world is, you can always find a little hope in each event.

What I don't like about this movie:
 - There are loopholes in the scenes. For example:
1. When the rebels able to reach the rooftop, they could have fire the Americans in a distance instead, they first remove the debris. Hmmmp
2. Cellphone signals or any telecommunication devices we're cut but how come the airplanes able to land?

Verdict: Rating 4.9/5
The best movie I've watched so far since That Thing Called Tadhana last year. A really breath-taking movie. You will not allow yourself to breath coz the rebels might have noticed you. LOL! But that's really what I felt.
