(2012) Inescapable
POLITICAL THRILLER
While the notion may be the same as other political missing persons movies as "The Constant Gardner", 1982 "Missing" starring Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek, perhaps the 1956 version of "The Man Who Knew Too Much" starring James Stewart and Doris Day among other movies, the situations are different. Starring Alexander Siddig as a 20 year Canadian citizen Adib having to return to the country where he originally escape from, which is Syria, for the purpose of first, finding his daughter, and then second, to bring her back to Canada. We don't know too much about Adib as much, until he returns back to the country where he originally abandoned or had escaped from, viewers get to witness some of his past about what he used to do, and the sacrifices he had to make upon leaving a ruler who's also known to be a dictator by the name of Bashar al-Assad, as his picture is plastered onto walls. For by judging this movie as a whole, it almost seems that the 'missing persons' scenario almost serves as a backdrop to the political unrest that exists in Syria, since I didn't know Syria had the 'secret police' functioning in their country similar to what George Orwell had in his book "1984". Marissa Tomei also stars as Fatima an Oscar winning actress I barely could recognize, and Joshua Jackson also stars as Paul who works for the embassy. Written and directed by Ruba Nadda, using actor Alexander Siddig for a second feature after "Cairo Time", is somewhat an enlightening type of movie about what used to happened over in Syria, which may be worst right now in comparison to what happened back then.
