The Hulu Original ‘No Exit’ offers a good amount of mystery and suspense. After a semi slow start, it really picks up once lead character Darby gets to the visitor center to ride out the snow storm.
The suspense is really heart-racing and the movie really keeps you interested until the very end. The plot twists catch you off guard and the story is nice and simple.
Sure, ‘No Exit’ does have a couple of small flaws. For example, Darby tries to dial 911 from her cell phone at the center and the call can’t get through with little to no service. Even though for emergency calls, you can still get through with little to no service. The writers probably figured that if that happened in the movie, the movie would be really short lol.
Overall, it’s a great little mystery that is definitely recommended to check out on the Hulu streaming service.
Here are a couple tidbits for Hulu’s ‘No Exit’:
On October 10, 2017, it was announced that 20th Century Fox had optioned the feature rights to the 2017 novel of the same name by Taylor Adams.
Initially intended for a theatrical release by 20th Century Studios, the film was instead distributed by Hulu in the US and released on February 25, 2022.
Several critics deemed ‘No Exit’ a popcorn movie, praising the action sequences, suspense, cinematography, and a 90 minute runtime while criticizing the screenplay.
