I hadn't heard about the 2022 mystery thriller "No Exit" prior to getting to sit down and watch it. So I didn't have any expectations from writers Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, nor did I know what the movie was about. So yeah, I entered "No Exit" with a totally blank page, ready to be entertained and impressed.
I liked the movie's cover and it was what initially lured me to give the movie a glance. And I am actually glad that I did, because director Damien Power really put together a wholesome movie here. It was definitely a movie that surprised me and turned out to be rather enjoyable and entertaining.
The storyline told in "No Exit", as written by Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, was a rather nicely written one. The construction of the narrative was compelling and gripping, and I quickly got swept up and submerged into the narrative. And that was one of the movie's strongest aspects.
But the movie also had a strong aspect in its cast ensemble. Talk about having a group of skilled performers together for a movie. Sure, the cast list is relatively small for "No Exit", but the actors and actresses hired for the movie definitely put on great performances and carried the movie quite well. I was not familiar with lead actress Havana Rose Liu prior to this movie, but she really carried "No Exit" phenomenally with her spot on performance. It was, of course, a treat to have Dennis Haysbert in the movie, because he is usually always one to put on a great performance, and "No Exit" was no different. I wasn't familiar with Danny Ramirez and David Rysdahl either, and they also were quite gifted.
I didn't find the storyline to be predictable, as other reviewers have done. I guess I just didn't speculate too much about who had done it and such, and instead just leaned back and enjoyed the movie for what it was and let the mystery unravel before me on the screen.
I genuinely enjoyed director Damien Power's 2022 mystery thriller "No Exit", and it is a movie that I will warmly recommend you sit down to watch if you enjoy mystery thrillers.
My rating of "No Exit" lands on a solid seven out of ten stars.
