No Exit is a story about a group of strangers bunked together in a cabin waiting out a storm, when a person is found tied up in a van outside. It is similar in plot to "The Hateful Eight" with a very different tone and time period.
For me this film is ultimately defined by its cliche characters and an onslaught of bafflingly poor decisions they make. This is not a movie with "smart" characters. Much of this is done to extend the movies run time but it feels hollow and cheap. I found myself rolling my eyes or screaming "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" several times at the screen when I think I was supposed to feel tense. I think this is ultimately what keeps this movie a small straight to streaming release. It takes away from much of the drama, and you're enjoyment of this film will depend on your suspension of disbelieve and tolerance for hollow characters.
This being said this story kept me at least intrigued throughout. The pacing of this movie is excellent, there is always a new action going on that keeps the story moving forward. The performances are good enough for what they have to work with here.
Overall No Exit is a quick, intriguing and ultimately shallow watch, not one I would recommend but it is ultimately a story that kept me interested.
