Observer -
The remarkably expressive Mr. Siddig is sympathetic and true as the tortured father, communicating reams of emotion with his eyes, and Ms. Tomei is totally charismatic as his discarded lover who helps him out of a sense of humanity.

The A.V. Club -
It’s a deeply confused movie, sometimes productively so.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
To her credit, Nadda is a solid actors’ director – the performances here are competent even when the writing isn’t. The exception is South Africa which, although a logistically necessary shooting location, ain’t much of a thespian.

New York Post -
The next time Siddig plays a man of intrigue, let’s hope he’s chasing something more interesting than a clueless kid.

Village Voice -
Inescapable isn't a terrible movie, but absent its ripped-from-the-headlines setting it's unremarkable.
