    Inescapable is like "Taken" without the tension.

    Plagued by clunky action sequences and a porous plot the cast visibly wilts.

    The film spins its wheels for almost an hour until collapsing under the weight of exposition that renders the mystery nearly besides the point.

    Muddled and inert despite the best intentions, this inescapably dull thriller plays like a Middle Eastern take on Liam Neeson’s “Taken.”

    Waiting for Inescapable to finally reach its unearned, sentimental conclusion is a tiresome experience, but seeing Tomei submit to its badness is several measures worse.
