No Exit is a story about a tragic event caused by another event. We follow a few characters down on their luck stuck in a situation caused by no one. None of them want to be stuck there, but they all have to find a way to manage or something more sinister will happen. Shot in mostly 1 location and with its front yard (parking) we get a really tight shot film along with solid acting from all of our leads. One thing which serves the plot to a very high extent is the foreboding soundtrack which just builds and builds with remorse. Lighting is another solid point amidst it being shot at night and the heavy snow genuinely reduces vision to but a few meters in front. That transforms each shadow to a possibility of something waiting for you there to the same extent do the tight corridors of the guest center.
The film follows the story of Darby (played by Havana Rose Liu) and how one person’s decision to stay in a visitors’ center changes her whole life. We start at a help centre for patients who suffer from all kinds of abuse, addiction and much more, in our case Darby suffers from drug use. She is not liked by her family for that particular reason, but when she gets a text that her mother is situated in a hospital, she goes out and starts the long drive to the hospital. Some time passes and Darby is forced to pull over due to heavy storm, and from there all things go downhill fast. We get to meet 4 new characters who are staying in the same centre due to the same reason, but one of them is hiding something sinister. Not knowing who to trust, finding ways to work it out in a place new to you, footprints being covered almost instantly due to heavy snowstorm and not knowing where everyone is at any moment. From this point on No Exit transforms in a thriller/mystery with twists and many turns along the way.
No Exit will not blow anyone’s socks off, it’s a small but effective thriller/mystery about a few people in dire circumstances. These 5 people were interesting to follow with all of them coming from different backgrounds and from that one could deduce how would each react in different circumstances.
You can find No Exit on Disney+.
