OK for a B movie

Ten young women are kidnapped by sex traffickers. And, given the title, I don't think it's much of a spoiler to say they try to escape.You might remember the director from The Dead, a zombie film set in Africa. I kind of liked that. This is a bit more of a traditional exploitation movie. Lots of youngish women in revealing clothes running around, trying to escape brutish guys.The interesting thing about Escape is that the women fight back. Instead of just screaming for help, they throw punches and sometimes rocks. The fight choreography is a bit poor, but I liked that they made the effort. A lot of these kinds of thrillers get kind of annoying and repetitive with all the running and screaming.It feels a bit long even at 90 minutes, but it's certainly watchable. There are also maybe too many characters. It's easier to keep a dozen characters straight when they're dressed and styled differently, but these are all youngish blondes in beach outfits. There was a nurse who was pretty cool, but the others kind of blended together.If you're in the mood for a B movie, you might as well give it a try. If you're looking for something more than that, skip it.

Imagine if Made in Chelsea got gritty

Great setting and scenery, the plot is as you'd expect for this type of film, so you know what you're getting but it's solid and an easy watch.The female characters are, on the whole, portrayed as having both beauty and brains, as they ultimately outsmart their captors and escape. Ok, you may question how a small group of petite young women in skimpy dresses and high heels can run through the desert and take down a ruthless criminal gang...but it's a movie, it's fiction and in this move, that's what they do, and it's positive to see this portrayed.I think some of the acting is very good, and being honest, some of it is a bit questionable, but it doesn't detract from the overall film. The bad guys / criminals all fit the bill very well, and the lead female roles are solid. A few of the performances are a bit 'Made in Chelsea / I want to look like I'm crying but really I'm not', but all in all, the film does what it says on the tin and delivers on its promise.I think it is a bit like if the Made in Chelsea lot went on holiday and got captured, and you'll probably see this and know what you're getting from the trailer, so if it's not for you, don't watch the film.Overall: an easy watch, enjoyable, some good performances, great scenery / settings, good to see female characters in the stronger, hero, come-out-on-top roles.

Not-So-Dumb Blondes

Within the first five minutes I was surprised. I figured this was going to be the typical hit a big guy once in the head, stand back long enough for him to shake it off before jumping in the truck, fumble with the keys, or the truck won't start so one can get capture by the big guy regardless. Lo and behold the girl does exactly as I seem to typically yell at her to do through the tv and she fights like hell, like her life depends upon it, because it does.As for those low-scored reviews, I'm guessing there wasn't enough gratuitous nudity and sexual violence for them in this movie. Maybe they didn't like the women talking amongst themselves to try to find a way out of the situation or their willingness to fight back against the men. Personally, it gets old watching female characters written to be both hapless and helpless. Okay, so maybe there are no big-name superstars, maybe a few simple flashbacks were just too confusing for some to follow. Maybe some of the dialogue wasn't too deep or characters too developed.One thing I noticed about at least one reviewer's comment stating one of the leads was a dancer and other a nurse. Am I the only one who heard one was becoming a veterinarian and other was a nurse. Is that the difference between what a male hears and what a female hears? Just kidding.All jokes aside, it was an okay movie to watch. Are there better? Yes, but there is a whole lot worse one could waste their time watching.
