Upon arriving Jack takes a walk so that he can become familiar with his new surroundings but it is not long that he witnesses murders and mayhem in the streets realizing that he and his family is now in the midst of a coup where the rebels are killing Americans and anyone else affiliated with the water company that is ruthlessly taking over their country. On the run and trying to keep himself and family alive they are aided by a mysterious tourist named Hammond (Bronson) who knows his way around the area well and is pretty skilled as a military mercenary also. But for the family it seems that at every turn there is danger leaving them to believe that there is no escape from the rebellious revolt.


Reel Talk:

After a long day with doctors appointments I was a bit fatigued so I figured a nap may have been in order for this one. But let me tell you that When this film takes off you are glued to the screen with its strong intense story and action. It will literally have you on the edge of your  seat with shock knowing that somewhere in the world this may actually be happening now. The only downsize for me is how it displays the hardheadedness of people that will lead to the possibilities of jeopardizing your life and the life of others which will have you wanting to just yell at the screen. But overall this is a very good movie with great performances by Owen Wilson, Lake Bell and Pierce Bronson each who are playing roles unlike what we are accustom to seeing them in. One thing for certain is that when you watch this film you will ask yourself just how far you will go to protect and keep your family safe? Yes this is worth cashing out, but be sure to get your snacks and hit the restroom before the movie starts because you will not want to leave when it does.
