The first I heard of No Escape was in a radio interview with Lake Bell. I’d been a fan of hers for a while, and being still in awe of her performance in Man Up, I was enthralled by her explanation of why she had taken on an action film. She talked of how it was important to her to gain new experiences so she could learn more about herself and her craft.
As a person I am usually against being politically correct because people become extremely sensitive to certain issues. Even then I must admit my hypocrisy when certain issues are expressed in the most inane and simple ways just to sell a ticket. This is not something unusual for Hollywood, many of their films have no sense of true empathy for characters that can be considered “other”.
