Wow!!! What a film!
I first saw this film in 2015 when it first came out and I loved it. I find a good movie is a movie you can watch more than once and it still excites you as you become immersed in the storyline. I can safely say this film is one of them.
The film has 2 big names in it - Owen Wilson (starring as Jack Dwyer) and Pierce Brosnan (Starring a outgoing extrovert come undercover agent). Not to forget a great performance from the talented Lake Bell (Annie, Jacks wife).
The story begins with businessman Owen Wilson and his family on a flight to Southeast Asia where they are planning to start a new life due to Owens career path. They know adjusting to a new life in a foreign country is going to take time and is going to be far from easy. As the story develops the family finds themselves at the centre of a political uprising and from this point a life threatening situation occurs for Owen and his family. Rebels highly armed with weapons from spades to a tank (yes a proper tank) pursue the family and it is down to Owen to ensure his family fleas the country before they are killed. The rebels are there with one agenda, to kill and take no prisoners this is one situation that no family wants to find themselves in.
Having two daughters and a partner myself this movie really pulled on the heart strings. Nothing is more important than your family and protecting them means everything.
This movie has it all, suspense, thrilling scenes, humor and action and it is not to be overlooked (if you haven't already seen it).
