NO ESCAPE (DIDIER BECU)
14 April 2004
Martin Campbell is the kind of director who should know better, he made "Goldeneye" so why he ever gave us crap like "The mask of Zorro" or this pathetic "No escape" is beyond me. The problem is that this movie doesn't take their viewers in a serious way. They all let us believe that we are a sort of dummies and with a stupid SF=scenario we are put in some future in where prisons are privatised. As soon as Ray Liotta is taken as prisoner they realise that they won't be able to handle this ex-mariner and drop him in the woods at where he is delivered to the brute Outsiders, a sort of primitive tribe that can only be found in movies at where Kevin Costner is Robin Hood. Luckily enough Liotta found a new peaceful breed who try to build up some new society in where elements like love and peace still have their place. Are you still following? I guess not, but it is Lawrence's fault, not mine... The worst thing is that it sounds like some episode from The Ewoks (Star Wars-spin off, remember?) and that this sort of s*** has been filmed with a big budget. Straight to video of course and it is a real waste that a top actor like Ray Liotta is exploited for such crap.
