The remarkably expressive Mr. Siddig is sympathetic and true as the tortured father, communicating reams of emotion with his eyes, and Ms. Tomei is totally charismatic as his discarded lover who helps him out of a sense of humanity. Read full review

Inescapable is Nadda's first foray into thriller territory, and her inexperience shows in awkwardly mounted fight scenes and clumsy car chases, not to mention an almost fatally explanatory script. Read full review

It’s a deeply confused movie, sometimes productively so. Read full review

Inescapable isn't a terrible movie, but absent its ripped-from-the-headlines setting it's unremarkable. Read full review

Inescapable is like "Taken" without the tension. Read full review

Feb 21, 2013

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

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. Read full review
