Escape

Absolutely horrific acting from start to finish. The producers and directors should be ashamed. Painful and annoying to watch. 90 minutes I'll never get back, it was massive waste of time watching this. Some of the worst acting I've ever seen. Still left questions unanswered at the end of the film. This movie was thrown together so cheaply, probably in the top 5 worst movies I have ever seen. Even the front cover poster has a girl with a rifle, this rifle isn't even in the movie let alone that image, so that's wrong advertising to begin with. I was expecting much from this movie but I didn't expect it to be this frustrating to watch.

Overall, I enjoyed this film, although it did seem to be a lower-budget version of 'Taken', but instead of Liam Neeson kicking ass, there are numerous hot 'blondes' doing it. Combining their superior psyche, these females exploit the machismo, one-dimensional nature of the villains, especially in the final act. That being said, I thought the actors cast as the antagonists did a good job. In particular, I enjoyed the camaraderie and 'friendship' between the eyepatch character and his Eastern European accomplice (Jon-Paul Gates, who I have seen in other films). Even though both were abducting and raping women at will, I thought their character traits personified the Eastern European mafia, where loyalty is not as important as greed and self-aggrandisement. When Gates attempts to drive the car, bleeding profusely, and Eyepatch asserts he can't drive, is hilarious! Some amusing moments in between the carnage of sex trafficking!

Two friends take a dreadful and horrifying vacation when criminals kidnap them in order to sell them to the highest bidder. That's when adversity and retribution sets in, this movie is about women empowerment and I was here for it. Good acting, great location scenery and women fighting back. Cliche at times but I enjoyed the film. Director Howard J. Ford previous films The Dead and The Dead 2 were also good movies, as a horror fan I am waiting for The Dead part 3. But I will recommend this movie Escape, I am all for empowering women & I am predicting this will be the year for women. Good Job 💙

Ten young women are kidnapped by sex traffickers. And, given the title, I don't think it's much of a spoiler to say they try to escape.

You might remember the director from The Dead, a zombie film set in Africa. I kind of liked that. This is a bit more of a traditional exploitation movie. Lots of youngish women in revealing clothes running around, trying to escape brutish guys.

The interesting thing about Escape is that the women fight back. Instead of just screaming for help, they throw punches and sometimes rocks. The fight choreography is a bit poor, but I liked that they made the effort. A lot of these kinds of thrillers get kind of annoying and repetitive with all the running and screaming.

It feels a bit long even at 90 minutes, but it's certainly watchable. There are also maybe too many characters. It's easier to keep a dozen characters straight when they're dressed and styled differently, but these are all youngish blondes in beach outfits. There was a nurse who was pretty cool, but the others kind of blended together.

If you're in the mood for a B movie, you might as well give it a try. If you're looking for something more than that, skip it.

Th scenery shots were about the best this movie had to offer, it was shockingly terrible acting from actors who were just going through the motions with zero effort put into what they were doing or saying, lets not get started on the horribly misplaced back stories of the main characters or the sheer stupidity of their actions and of their captors and WTH was with that random drunk in the middle of nowhere, he had absolutely no business or purpose in the entire movie, the rocks had better parts than he did. All up the entire thing from start to finish isn't worth the time or effort it takes to watch it.
