No Exit Reviews
Where No Exit is lacking in any innovative concepts, it makes up for in its skillful, engaging execution.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 4, 2024
This chaotic, 95-minute feature is fast paced and promises to be a good time right from the beginning.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 22, 2024
It’s not a Hitchcockian masterpiece, but it is a fairly intense, claustrophobic roller-coaster ride. Liu gives a solid performance as Darby, a damaged and insecure pariah who is compelled by circumstances to face overwhelming odds to protect a stranger.

Damien Power takes the simple premise of his screenwriters and builds an immersive atmosphere through single-location filmmaking, where the camera work and the score are technical highlights in a visually fascinating work.
| Original Score: A- | Jul 25, 2023
Damien Powers squeezes the most out of his resources. No Exit is a surprisingly effective white-knuckle type. A cold and claustrophobic nail-biter that’s more effective than most.

No Exit has an interesting enough story, that it pulls you in to what to see where this goes. The first 30 minutes and some character choices feeling like a waste of time. As an engaging mystery thriller it can be very entertaining and engaging!
| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 26, 2022
Taut and delightfully nasty, No Exit is a thriller with more than a few surprises up its sleeve.

No Exit is a thoroughly enjoyable mystery thriller with layered characters, and unexpected twists. Director Damien Power seems to have fully understood the potential of his cast and script and deftly gets the most out of both.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 22, 2022
It may get a little carried away in its gnarly final 20 minutes or so, but it does such a good job keeping its audience locked into every crazy (and in some cases blood-soaked) new twist.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2022
It doesn’t do anything particularly ground-breaking or emotionally resonant, but this does do a stellar job of being “pretty damn good”, and that’s all you really need for a thriller like this.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 26, 2022
...improves considerably once it progresses into a surprising and impressively brutal midsection...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 23, 2022
Two blah movies in one, stirred together like peanut butter and glass cleaner. Consume at your own risk.
| Original Score: C | Jun 10, 2022
So what we have here is a rarity: a nasty, borderline nihilistic, trashy single-location thriller with a tight script and strong performances. "No Exit" plays remarkably fair by the genre's standards
| Original Score: 7/10 | May 10, 2022
No Exit’s script ladles on the usual plot twists and body horror, introducing new, grisly ways to assault flesh and bone. But the tension is lukewarm.
| Apr 26, 2022
A rather generic thriller that spills its beans too quickly and never develops any genuine rising tension.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2022
This Hulu thriller is professionally constructed, with a few well-placed twists and turns, and it may be worth a look, but it somehow lacks a real pulse; it can't truly make the adrenaline flow.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 19, 2022
Latterly, however, as the violence and gore take unjustifiable precedence, the filmmakers find themselves unable to stem the flow, instead creating bloody set-piece after bloody set-piece, most of which you’ve seen before.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 16, 2022
A lean screenplay & a terrific performance by Havana Rose Liu help shape a compelling thriller as it subverts expectations & holds viewers' attention.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 15, 2022
This is an effective movie.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 12, 2022
It's got all of these wonderful thriller elements to it... Every single piece that is introduced has a role to play, and it's all orchestrated like a beautiful chess match.
