Synopsis

Our take

A nail-biting thriller embedded around an unfurling mystery, Inescapable takes a heartbreakingly relevant geopolitical situation to examine the challenges of escaping our past. Working with Dawson’s Creek star Joshua Jackson, director Ruba Nadda revs up the political intrigue via tense performances.
