Jerod S @jeroduptown 10/11/2023 Tomei really isn't in this movie - and it's similar to the Taken series but without any of the suspense. It's paced and shot all wrong. See more Abby A @RT03637265 10/06/2023 YET ANOTHER MOVIE WHERE I WOULD ADVISE PEOPLE TO NOT TAKE THE LOW critics' RATINGS SERIOUSLY Adib (the fabulous, charming Alexander siddig) is a Syrian falsely accused of being a traitor and exiled. Decades later, after starting a family and new life in Canada his daughter goes missing after going on a trip and her sister tells him she went off to Syria to research about him! Without telling anyone. Already giving off "spoiled brat " vibes. Adib finds himself needing to go back to his home in Syria where he has lots of enemies and has to confront the awkwardness of asking for help from his first wife Fatima he left behind (played by Marisa tomei.) Subdued stoic first half.. Intense, immersive 2nd half with a bit of action and some violence. Enjoyable throughout personally and everything gets wrapped up well at the end. By that I mean no head scratching, No plot holes.. Also appreciate that there wasn't too much politicspeak and jargon because there's people like myself who don't know the last thing about Syrian culture or Syrian internal affairs.. I've really enjoyed with Alexander in it.. From Rubba Nada she's really good in my opinion. I liked Cairo Time too. I'm a Long term fan of Dr Bashir of DS9! See more 08/06/2018 Slow, boring, lame. No suspense, just a lot of blanks stares and talk. Rotten. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 05/19/2016 Inescapable is a disappointing film. It is about Adib Abdel Kareem who must confront what he left behind in Damascus when his daughter goes missing. Alexander Siddig and Joshua Jackson give horrible performances. The script is badly written. Ruba Nadda did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. See more 05/11/2015 Marisa Tomei plays a great Arab woman. I liked the twist and turn of the plot and the topical relevance of Syria. A very entertaining thriller.
