Escape Clause

About This Movie

Escape Clause is an intriguing TV movie from '96 that dives into the murky waters of betrayal and survival. The premise is pretty wild: a guy discovers his wife's plot to have him whacked for ten grand. The pacing builds a tension that keeps you guessing, especially with the unexpected twists. What’s interesting is how it plays with the idea of trust, or rather, the lack of it. The performances reflect a kind of desperate urgency, and there's a certain atmospheric quality, almost claustrophobic at times. Plus, practical effects, while minimal, serve the story without overshadowing the narrative. It’s not often you find a thriller that keeps you guessing like this one does. Worth a watch if you're into that late '90s vibe.

Interesting take on marital trust and betrayal. · Strong atmosphere, building tension effectively. · Noteworthy performances that enhance the drama.
