The ‘No Escape’ film premiere inspired 9 must-see #DadReflexes

HerFamily

The films I love to watch seem to revolve around the themes of comedy, silliness and action (my favourite) and the concept of how things can happen despite our best intentions. 

The latest one to tick all of those boxes and star the ride Owen Wilson is No Escape (Cert 15a), which hits cinemas on Friday, September 4, and we are on the edge of our office chairs in suspense.

The action thriller sees the heroic Dad (Mr Wilson) carry off some suitably hulky #DadReflexes when it comes to saving his wife (Lake Bell), and his child from peril. You get the drift. He’s pretty amazing.

1. The birthday cake save

2. The toy car save

3. The speeding bike-car-collison save

4. The speeding car save

5. The sofa-baby save

6. Rolling-baby fail

7. Remote control car save

8. The unbelievable skateboard save

9. And finally… the toddler-save

Here’s the official trailer from the film…
