Verdict on Exterritorial
Recap
The movie follows a former soldier traveling to America for a new job. However, her son goes missing, and she refuses to leave without him. Meanwhile, the head of the premises refuses to let her stay. The soldier must locate her son before it is too late.
Best Parts
The movie creates a big mystery surrounded by a conspiracy. It keeps us guessing and manages to make us wonder how big the conspiracy is. Jeanne Goursaid is brilliant in the leading role, and we are left waiting to see what she is capable of in each scene. The movie does a great job of maintaining the suspense and giving us action throughout the movie.
Worst Parts
The movie feels a lot like ‘Flight Plan’, where we have a character who people are convincing that their child never existed. Though that is hinted at heavily, it does feel like we would never go down that route.
Final Thoughts –Exterritorial keeps us on edge throughout.
