Jack Dwyer (Owen Wilson) has just moved his wife Annie (Lake Bell) and their two daughters half way around the world for a new job opportunity. He will be working for a large corporation that will be bringing clean water to the residents of this poverty stricken country. The only problem is that the locals resent this foreign corporation's involvement and feel that they will lose control of their own water supply. Radical revolutionaries stage a coup, execute the country's leader and overtake the police and the military. Then they begin executing all foreigners, no questions asked. Jack must protect his family at all cost and try to get them safely out of the country as fast as possible. With the help of Hammond (Pierce Brosnan), a mysterious man they meet at the airport and keep running into, they do everything in their power to escape. But, there just might be no escaping this horrible situation.

I really liked this movie. I love thrillers that actually keep you on the edge of your seat. This family appeared to be in peril the whole film and I was genuinely concerned for them. I liked Owen and Lake together and I thought they both did a fine job. The film even got a little emotional in a few spots. The film won't be winning an Oscar or anything, but it is a fast-paced action packed movie from beginning to end. I enjoyed it and left with an accelerated heartrate. Go see it.
