Children are thrown from a roof (with the intention of being caught). A man is beaten to death with a blunt object. Dead bodies are shown. A man commits suicide. An angry mob beats people with rocks, sticks. A helicopter crashes and explodes. Tank shells explode. A truck runs over three people. Much of the violence occurs in front of children.
Profanity: Very occasional, sporadic uses of "fuck." Uses of other swear words throughout
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Characters drink in the beginning. Infrequent scenes of cigar smoking
Frightening/Intense Scenes:
The roof throwing scene is very intense as is other scenes.
The whole movie is a non-stop, frightening, white-knuckle ride.
Story: When Jack (Owen Wilson) finds an opportunity to move to Southeast Asia to head his water manufacturing company's new plant there, he immediately jumps at the opportunity and moves his family there. When they get there; they seem to be having problems, the electronics don't work and rarely any cars are seen in the streets. When he goes to the market the next morning, he finds himself caught in the middle of a violent rebellion headed by armed rebels executing foreigners. Jack must get back to the hotel and with the help of a mysterious British "tourist" (Pierce Brosnan), must get his family to the American Embassy in the midst of the chaos. But is there any escape?
Likes : This film is pretty intense when it come to story, it not a film for the faint of heart, stry is of a family that move to the east asia for a new start to build a water to help people. the father Jack Dwyer (wilson) ; a successful American engineer, with a wife Annie Dwyer (Bell) and two young daughters (Sterling Jerins and Claire Geare).
Thing seem fine until a civil war breaks out his family is caught in a desperate struggle for survival as he try to get this family to safety, at the American Embassy, only to find things are much worst as thing start to swirl out of control, they find help from a man named Hammond (Pierce Brosnan).
The action scene are extremely intense & very violent in places Owen Wilson dose a great performance in show a desperate father trying to save his family, these scene do get extremely intense at times.
The whole concept of the film really shows just how bad it gets, when civil war breaks out in a country its not a great place to be with a family. I'm surprised that this is the first time ive seen Owen doing a serious movie which happens when an actor does comedy for a while but he nailed it with a great performance.
This is a great film to watch very entertaining, intense & frightening concept of a family in a civil war trying escape to safety, so if your looking for a great film to watch this is one to watch.
Dislikes : the only flaw really is there is no explanation of why the war started in the first place, this is the only flaw in the film as the rest of of it pretty simple.
Overall : intense, frightening, survival film worth checking out.
Rating:5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8 out of 10 for concept
