Critic Reviews for No Escape (Escape from Absolom)

All Critics (23) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (7) | DVD (3)

A synthetic pastiche of sci-fi, action movies (borrowing feely from the superior Mad Max movies), and routine prison drama that's a sensless, incoherent mishmash that even a reliable pro like Liota cannot salavage.
