It reminded me a great deal of 2003’s “ Identity,” another single-setting thriller with a modest budget that made $90 million in a very different era, or the films that typically starred Angelina Jolie or Ashley Judd based on books that everyone read on a beach a few years earlier.
Gone are the days when one could stumble into something like “No Exit” on a rainy day without really knowing what it’s about, startled by its twists and turns. So Fox changing their mind after the Disney merger and pushing this to their streaming service makes sense. The market has pushed this kind of thriller out, moving them to streamers like Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu. It’s got a low budget and only a couple familiar faces.
It’s interesting that “No Exit,” premiering today on Hulu, was once scheduled for a theatrical release by Fox because it feels like the kind of thing that doesn’t play in multiplexes anymore.
