No Exit (2022, EP: Scott Frank / D: Power) - S: Liu, Haysbert, Dickey, Ramirez, Rysdahl
Trust no one. No Exit starts streaming on Hulu February 25.
In “No Exit,” Havana Rose Liu (“Mayday”) makes her feature film leading role debut as Darby, a young woman en route to a family emergency who is stranded by a blizzard and forced to find shelter at a highway rest area with a group of strangers. When she stumbles across an abducted girl in a van in the parking lot, it sets her on a terrifying life-or-death struggle to discover who among them is the kidnapper.
Directed by Damien Power (“Killing Ground”) from a screenplay by Andrew Barrer & Gabriel Ferrari (“Ant-Man and the Wasp”) based on Taylor Adams’ 2017 novel and produced by PGA Award winner Scott Frank (“The Queen’s Gambit”), the film stars Havana Rose Liu, Danny Ramirez (“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” “Top Gun: Maverick”), David Rysdahl (“Nine Days”), Dale Dickey (“Winter’s Bone), Mila Harris (“Young Dylan”) and Dennis Haysbert (“Breakthrough”).

This is up on Hulu now. I enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for the "strangers stranded during a dark storm night" thrillers.

Just watched this. I liked it. Once the tension starts to rise it moves along at a pretty good pace. I've been a fan of Dennis Haysbert since The Unit, and Patty the Daytime Hooker is always good, too.

I liked it too. The twists were ok and it got a little brutal towards the end.

Eh was silly. I thought the similar Megan Fox one was better.

I really liked it. Moved at a good clip and the lead actress Havana Rose Liu is excellent. Also loved the isolated snowy setting. Perfect for this time of year. A few contrivances had me groaning near the end but I wouldn't hesitate recommending this for anyone looking for a good thriller.

I enjoyed this. Some good surprises and twists. Only thing I knew about it was Dennis Haysbert was in it. Had no idea what the plot was beforehand.
My only complaint is when the writers make the protagonist do dumb things towards the end when confronting the villain. Darby had multiple opportunities to execute both those guys. She must never hesitate. End the threat.
The kid had some good acting too. Very impressed.
