The Weinstein Company’s upcoming film NO ESCAPE (which has nothing to do with the Ray Liotta film from 1994 with the same name) stars Owen Wilson as a family man that moves his brood to Southeast Asia, and winds up in the middle of an unexpected war. The lovely Lake Bell plays his wife, and he finds a helping hand in Pierce Brosnan… the latter of which we fully expect to be a bad ass here. It’s directed by John Erick Dowdle, who was responsible for QUARANTINE and DEVIL, and looks to be an intense ride. This is also quite a change for both Wilson and Bell, who typically appear in comedies. Check out the intense trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
