What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Times Stephen Dalton  There's no escaping this pedestrian, but modestly gripping nerve-jangler. | 10 |  |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy While not perfect (the girls as tension bait, Brosnan's opportune arrivals, and the filmmakers' questionable decision of using slow motion footage from time to time all earn some demerits), I found there to be little escape from the tension and suspense in No Escape. It's a trip you might want to take if you're into such thrillers. | 12 |  |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer No Escape's talented cast and taut B-movie thrills are unfortunately offset by its one-dimensional characters and uncomfortably retrograde worldview. | 9 | |
| Movie Review Query Engine MRQE critics   | 10 | |
| CommonSenseMedia Staff evaluation Forced thrills can't hide this movie's ugly xenophobia. | 2 |  |
