      dave j Monday, January 31, 2011 (1997) Escape THRILLER/ SUSPENSE A better title for this film than the two names that're appearant which is "Escape" which would look like a POW picture and is not and "Human Cargo" which would look like a human smuggling film and is completely the opposite! A better title should've been something like "Trapped" or "Held up" or another! All this means that in order to enjoy this film, one must totally ignore the movie's ridiculous assortment of movies titles because of the many possible misconceptions it could've bring! This is a story based on fact about American engineer and entrepreneur John McDonald (Treat Williams) being dicked around by a couple of wealthy Saudi's while staying at Saudi Arabia! Who was hired and commited to handle an expensive project with a contract until it was reneged by the 2 Saudi's who brought him there in the first place! Despite it's budget, it's really a not bad film since alot has changed since the late 70s! 3 out of 4 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
