Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A woman with an absolute ar*e of a husband gets up the courage to escape despite any emotional/maternal feeling she has left for her children. I applaud her courage. No one should live in a life where they are emotionally and physically abused, a life that makes them constantly depressed and feel worthless. Too many people take abuse and never get out of that situation. Gemma Arterton is a goddess, even when she is (very realistically) portraying someone who hates all aspects of her situation. For those viewers who say she should stay in that situation, shame on you - enablers are almost as guilty as the abuser.

..it's really a very worthwhile little film.. ..and she gets an opportunity to show .. just how good an actor she truly is....one of the best lines comes not from her.. ..and near the very end of the movie....change completely your life... ..but try to change it with him.. ..and if it doesn't work.. ..then change it without him

The movie is SO SLOW and boring. There are no sympathetic characters. I would have walked out but my wife wanted to see it. There wasn't even any gratuitous nudity to hold my interest. I've liked Gemma Arterton in the past in movies like Tamara Drew, but she was wasted in this movie. Don't waste your time.

An ordinary woman makes an extraordinary decision which will change her life forever. Despite a solid perfomance from Gemma Arterton 'The Escape' is a typical drama about how a married couple changes after spending a few years together and it wasn't as good as it might have hoped it was, the overall character of Dominic Cooper was so bad he was the typical jack*ss that was demanding sex with his wife every morning and night and was such a terrible perfomance and character. The film's ending also cuts short and except Arterton's perfomance there isn't something more to it. It was boring, monotone and packed with some forgettable perfomances. (3/10)
