Leave your thoughts about No Exit.
| Screen RantFerdosa AbdiNo Exit is a gratifying thriller with a stellar lead performance by Liu. It is a concise and impactful piece of work, even when it stumbles in the third act. It is well worth a watch, especially for fans of the single-location thriller subgenre. |
| The PlaylistNick AllenWhile its minimalism can make for a mixed bag of surprises, “Killing Ground” director Damien Power ensures that No Exit has enough of his own striking signature. |
| TheWrapLena WilsonThe filmmaking itself is sound. Liu is spellbinding, and her supporting cast of character actors are game for the script’s insanity. |
| SlashfilmHoai-Tran BuiWhile competently performed — Liu in particular is exceptional, lending a fraught likability to Darby; Haysbert exudes a natural warmth; and Dickey gives a good frayed performance despite a disappointing characterization — and decently directed, it feels like there's something missing from No Exit. |
| Paste MagazineTara BennettPower does get points for keeping No Exit’s runtime to a brisk and lean 90 minutes, but he doesn’t have as deft a handle on all the other various working parts of the story. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreAs child kidnapping/trafficking thrillers go — and yes, there have been scores of these — No Exit barely stands out from the pack and overreaches at times. But it puts us in somebody’s snow-caked shoes and dares us to reason or fight our way out of this with her, which is all you can ask. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoNo Exit is imperfect and struggles to get going, but it's a grisly piece of work that earns your suspension of disbelief. |
| The New York TimesBeatrice LoayzaNo Exit drops an arsenal of twists and rug-pulls at a machine gun’s pace, though Power, the director, doesn’t quite know how to milk the tension, and the perfunctory script (written by Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari) tries and fails to give the events a greater resonance. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDirector Power orchestrates the thriller plot mechanics with reasonable skill, and the film’s concise 90-minute running time ensures that the pace never bogs down. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersDirector Damien Power occasionally tilts the movie into horror territory, with some particularly grisly violence that might shock viewers who think they know where it’s going. |
