Review of No Exit

These are the kind of movies I wish were being made more often. Grounded thrillers, with twists galore and a solid R rating that they aren't afraid to use to its full potential. They're just so much fun to watch.

The suspense in this movie is top-drawer. From the moment a certain event happens we are captivated and the film never releases us. It is relentlessly fast paced. This is 95 minutes that are going to go by very quickly for you.

The film surprised me with how brutal it was willing to be in certain parts. There are no half measures taken. It never feels excessive or gratuitous though. Just doing what the story demands to be done and keeping us on the edge of our seat.

The only thing that let it down a little was the ending. I find films like this often struggle in the wrapping up phase. Everything to that point had been going pretty realistically and made sense. The ending just goes off the rails a little. It's nothing to ruin the film, it just would've been nice to keep the momentum it had going right until the finish.

Nonetheless I had a very good time with 'No Exit'. It's my kind of movie and it's one I would highly recommend. 8/10.
