.. and written by he and his brother Drew. So in some fictitious country - clearly Thailand - the American company has taken over the water utility, and this causes the locals not only to kill any foreigner but also their own people, with slaughterous glee. Efficient in thriller scenes (with a hint of The Mercenaries), this makes no sense. What's worse is the Dowdle brothers sadistically put two young girls through this carnage - Wilder knows how many years of therapy they would have needed afterwards.
Loved the ironies though. We recently saw footage of a protest in Thailand against the monarchy and it was the politest and calmest protest I think I've ever seen. The other lovely irony is the Americans are only safe when they reach Vietnam.
Good to see Owen Wilson and Lake Bell in a thriller. Pierce Brosnan you just know early on isn't going to make it to the end of the film.
It's exhausting.
