Escape from Mogadishu

"Those seeking a meticulously choreographed and strikingly shot action thriller will find little to complain about."

"On its own terms, Escape From Mogadishu makes for an engrossing, nail-biting Korean history lesson."

"The fact the action is never without strong emotion makes it quite irresistible. The film ought to have a seat belt warning."

"(It's) great: a different kind of apocalyptic Korean spectacular to Train to Busan but equally worth the ride..."

"Despite thrills and a heart-stopping climax, the film lacks significant commentary on anything unfolding on screen..."

"A fraught action-adventure thriller... that leaves a bitter aftertaste."

"This beautiful film is, in every way, a memorable experience."

"A vivid reminder of how political thrillers can provide nail-biting entertainment while still navigating complicated narrative terrain."

"Propulsive and intelligently written..."

"A giddy chase scene almost singlehandedly rescues Escape from Mogadishu an otherwise unmoving South Korean political thriller."
