No Escape is now on Netflix
No Escape (2015)
Genre: Action, Thriller Director: John Erick Dowdle Cast: Owen Wilson, Lake Bell, Sterling Jerins, Claire Geare Runtime: 103 min For those looking for an action flick, No Escape should fit the bill given its all-star cast and intriguing premise. The movie follows a family that has relocated to Southeast Asia but soon finds themselves wrapped up in a government coup that threatens their safety. Sadly, the reviews from critics didn’t go too well for the film but audience scores, particularly newer scores have trended more favorably for the film.The Conjuring & The Conjuring 2 (2013 & 2016)
Genre: Horror, Mystery, Thriller Director: James Wan Cast: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Lili Taylor, Ron Livingston Runtime: 112 min & 134 mins The complete collection of The Conjuring was added to Netflix last weekend and are an absolute must-watch for fans of horror. The first movie kicks things off with a family moving into a seemingly haunted farmhouse whereas the second movie changes things up by heading to London to find a spirit that has been unleashed. Both movies are absolutely superb but be sure to watch with the lights on.I Care A Lot
Genre: Comedy, Crime, Thriller Director: J Blakeson Cast: Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, Eiza González, Dianne Wiest Writer: J Blakeson Runtime: 118 min Chances are you’ve already heard a lot about I Care A Lot but as we’ve yet to feature the movie in our weekly lists, we’d thought we’d throw our recommendation out now too. Rosamund Pike stuns in everything she’s in and that’s no different here as her portrayal of a parasitic business owner who is rinsing elderly clients of their money.Operation Finale (2018)
Genre: Biography, Drama, History, Thriller, War Director: Chris Weitz Cast: Oscar Isaac, Ben Kingsley, Mélanie Laurent, Lior Raz Runtime: 122 min Released three years ago was the post-World War 2 drama where a group of agents team up to hunt down a notorious criminal from World War 2 who has gone into hiding. The movie is certainly a slow burn but thanks to the excellent cast assembled here they keep you engaged throughout.Who Am I (2014)
Genre: Crime, Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller Director: Baran bo Odar Cast: Tom Schilling, Elyas M’Barek, Wotan Wilke Möhring, Antoine Monot Jr. Runtime: 102 minAdvertisement
