Inescapable

Inescapable (2012) is a Canadian political thriller directed by Ruba Nadda — watch online on iFILM. Alexander Siddig, Marisa Tomei and Joshua Jackson lead a story that moves between Toronto and Damascus.

Adib spent twenty-five years building a quiet life in Canada with an identity he dug a deep hole for. He was an officer in the Syrian military police who fled under suspicion of treason; back home, a death sentence still carries his name. When his photojournalist daughter disappears in Damascus, he goes back anyway. Every contact from his old life is a potential informant, every checkpoint a gamble — and the secret he buried refuses to stay down. Siddig makes this more than a genre exercise: he plays a man who discovers that two and a half decades of distance changes nothing. Stream Inescapable (2012) on iFILM.
