Escape Route

About This Movie

So, you've got 'Escape Route' from 2016, which is an interesting blend of coming-of-age and time travel. The atmosphere is really quite gripping, especially how it handles the disorientation of waking up in a war-torn past. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but that adds to the chaotic feel of the protagonist's journey. The themes of privilege and self-discovery are well explored, and while the performances aren’t groundbreaking, they convey a certain sincerity that keeps you engaged. It’s distinct in its approach to juxtaposing youthful recklessness against a backdrop of historical conflict, which adds layers to the narrative.

This film has had a limited release, making it somewhat scarce in collector circles. It initially came out on DVD but hasn't seen much in terms of special editions or re-releases, which can make finding a good copy a bit tricky. There's definitely some interest due to its unique premise and the way it handles its themes, so it's worth keeping an eye out for. The lack of a well-known director also adds a layer of intrigue for collectors who appreciate the more obscure titles.
