Very disappointing...

Highly Overrated But Still Good

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Gemma Arterton's performance was wonderful in this film. She summed up her feelings and thoughts perfectly and even triggered my own feelings in regards to depression. It was very moving and difficult to watch at times. Slow burned to create feelings of tension building up inside her.

Is awful... can't act. Give it a rest please. The whole thing is slow, stupid and awful.

..it's really a very worthwhile little film.. ..and she gets an opportunity to show .. just how good an actor she truly is....one of the best lines comes not from her.. ..and near the very end of the movie....change completely your life... ..but try to change it with him.. ..and if it doesn't work.. ..then change it without him

An ordinary woman makes an extraordinary decision which will change her life forever. Despite a solid perfomance from Gemma Arterton 'The Escape' is a typical drama about how a married couple changes after spending a few years together and it wasn't as good as it might have hoped it was, the overall character of Dominic Cooper was so bad he was the typical jack*ss that was demanding sex with his wife every morning and night and was such a terrible perfomance and character. The film's ending also cuts short and except Arterton's perfomance there isn't something more to it. It was boring, monotone and packed with some forgettable perfomances. (3/10)
