Dire - The Escape review by JD

Spoiler Alert
26/01/2019

One of the most depressing and boring movies I have seen in ages.

The screenplay was poor and the acting not much better.

I have followed Gemma Arterton for many years, and while she has never been in the A team of British actors, she was pretty enough to get away with it.

Sadly her looks have deserted her.

Dominic Cooper does his usual best but the story is all about “her” .

Sadly I was hoping she might jump off the Eiffel Tower towards the end, and save her husband and children a lot of grief.

Unsympathetic lead role - The Escape review by TE

Spoiler Alert
02/04/2019

Gets an extra star because of the final 3-4 minutes, which are an antidote to some of the slushy stuff that precedes it.

Gemma Arterton is rarely off camera, and she is indeed beautiful, but her character is aloof, cold and dishonest (she lies to her French admirer even more than he does to her). There is little excuse for how boring she finds her life as a mother. She drifts aimlessly through the film in the same way that the script drifts aimlessly.

Like watching paint dry. Gemma stands. Looks around. Stares out the window. Goes to paris mopes arond looking miserable. Comes home the end. Avoid.
