    perfect

    A thrilling LGBTQ+ film that delivers both excitement and tension, bolstered by strong performances from the cast. On the surface, it's a sexy and engaging thriller, but what truly sets it apart are the deeper themes interwoven into the narrative, exploring complex issues and emotional depths that resonate beyond the immediate plot. The script is solid, with sharp dialogue and well-developed characters, even though the "big twist" might be predictable for some viewers. Despite that minor flaw, the film remains a well-crafted and compelling thriller. It's an engaging and thought-provoking movie that I definitely recommend giving a chance!

    I'm impressed

    In The Way Out, director Barry Jay crafts an intense psychological thriller that dives deep into the complexities of trauma and survival. The film follows a young man, reeling from the recent death of his abusive father. Struggling to find direction, he crosses paths with a charming yet dangerous stranger. This enigmatic figure becomes an unexpected mentor, imparting unconventional life lessons that span the spectrum from the intimate and personal to the violent and empowering. As the young man learns about life, sex, and how to fight back, he begins to reclaim his sense of self and confront the ghosts of his past. Barry Jay masterfully weaves a narrative that is as unsettling as it is captivating, making The Way Out a compelling exploration of resilience and transformation.

    Terrific thriller

    Kenny's Movie Review

    Coming to Streaming 2/10/2023

    "The Way Out"

    This is from the Great people of "Terror Films"

    A young man deals with the loss of his abusive father by taking advice from a charming, dangerous stranger who teaches him about life, sex, and fighting back.

    This is a really good intense psychological thriller from director Barry Jay, it stars Jonny Beauchamp as a young man dealing with the sudden loss of his abusive father, he's in a dead end job as a pizza delivery driver when he finds out his dad died of a "massive heart attack" he's helped by his AA sponsor played by Sherri Shepherd and his "girlfriend" played by Ashleigh Murray. When he inherits his fathers house and massive unpaid bills he starts renting out rooms and here he meets a stranger played really creepy by Mike Manning who teaches him how to fight back.

    This is where I'll leave you, the film takes you on a wild ride and a game of revenge, the acting and story is really interesting and terrific and I'd highly recommend you seeing this when it comes to streaming in February.

    Thanks to Terror Films for the opportunity to share their film with me.
