3.5/5

The jungle scenes, shot in Queensland, are well staged and genuinely suspenseful and McConville's performance is impressive. The film was clearly made on a modest budget, and, taking that into account, it is pretty impressive.

It's not the script which provides the film's punch. That comes from Josh McConville's embodiment of an Australian army officer who has returned from a mission to Myanmar suffering post-traumatic stress syndrome.

Escape And Evasion is one of the cinematic shining lights of this year. An intense and dramatic film – it is one of those movies you will find wanting to watch two or three times to really embrace it.

You can't argue with the film's good intentions [but] good intentions do not automatically make a good movie. Scatty direction, implausible action scenes and thin production values keep it from hitting the marks it is so obviously aiming for.

Maybe it's because I'm Australian, but the cast was too familiar to me having seen most of these actors in many other roles. It was an okay effort, but I think that a better plot could (and probably will) centre around Australian forces role in Afghanistan. Around a pretty decent military drama.

A welcoming change to typical Action war films with great performances, cool battle scenes and plenty of intrigue.

Absolute garbage, poor story and acting was atrocious! Anyone that says this was ok has no idea. If there were military advisors on this film they should be ashamed of themselves.

The movie provides some good insight into PTSD for returned soldiers. The Actor playing the main character is very believable. Good scenery, good child actors. Great little Aussie effort on a fictional drama. Some of the more gruesome scenes are not for the faint hearted.
