Inescapable 2012

Inescapable     The government in Tunisia is crumbling and it’s not a good time for Muna to pay a visit to see her father’s homeland.  Adib Abdul-Kareem lives in Canada with his wife and two daughters but he is originally from Syria.  He has not shared any of the details of his life in Syria with his daughters.  This has made his journalist daughter Muna curious and now she has gone missing in Damascus.  Adib contacts his friend Fatima and ask her to help him search for his eldest daughter.  Adib has not been back to Damascus in 20 years. 
     This movie was not filmed in Syria but in Johannesburg.  I kept hoping this would get better but it doesn’t.  There is a lot of created tension but it seems to always be going nowhere.  2* (I didn’t like this movie) 

93 min, Drama directed by Ruba Nadda with Alexander Siddig, Marisa Tomei, Joshua Jackson, Oded Fehr, Saad Dissiqui, Fadia Nadda, Bonnie Lee Bouman, Jay Anstey.

Note:  Blockbuster 1 ½*, imdb 4.8 out of 10, 19% critic 31% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
