David Stratton The Australian 03/06/2020
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. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 03/04/2020
3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Luke Buckmaster Guardian 04/15/2019
3/5
A credible and interesting film with compelling ideas. Go to Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment 10/29/2024
4/5
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. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri 3AW 03/06/2020
1.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Erin Free FILMINK (Australia) 02/25/2020

Emily B 01/14/2024 The cast (particularly McConville) make a heroic effort to enliven implausible subplots and a dreadful and plodding script. Unfortunately, this movie was interesting solely for that Herculean, but ultimately, doomed effort. See more Ian R 08/31/2023 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. See more 07/31/2022 A welcoming change to typical Action war films with great performances, cool battle scenes and plenty of intrigue. See more 04/22/2021 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. See more 04/03/2021 Amazing. So powerful and real. See more Melissa M 12/29/2020 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. See more Read all reviews
