The Way Out

A gripping psychological thriller that follows a young man dealing with the sudden loss of his abusive father. Stuck in a dead-end job as a pizza delivery driver, he learns that his father has died of a "massive heart attack." With the support of his AA sponsor and his girlfriend, he begins to navigate his new reality. Inheriting his father's house and a mountain of unpaid bills, he starts renting out rooms to make ends meet. This leads to an encounter with a mysterious and unsettling stranger who teaches him how to fight back.

The film takes you on a wild ride filled with suspense and a quest for revenge. The acting and storyline are both compelling and well-executed, making it a standout in the thriller genre. The intense and engaging narrative keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Barry Jay expertly combines suspense with a meaningful exploration of trauma and addiction. The film's slow-build tension and deep character development set it apart from typical thrillers. Beauchamp delivers a powerful performance as the vulnerable yet determined Alex, while Manning brings a chilling intensity to Shane. The supporting cast, including Sherri Shepherd and Ashleigh Murray, adds depth and authenticity to the story.

The Way Out avoids cheap scares, focusing instead on psychological richness and emotional resonance. It delves into the complexities of dependency and recovery, making every moment significant and contributing to a profound sense of unease. For those seeking a thought-provoking and suspenseful film, The Way Out is a compelling reminder of how our pasts shape our present and is a must-watch in the psychological thriller genre.

This intense psychological thriller from director Barry Jay is a must-watch. Jonny Beauchamp stars as a young man grappling with the sudden death of his abusive father. Stuck in a dead-end job as a pizza delivery driver, he learns that his father has died of a "massive heart attack." With the help of his AA sponsor, played by Sherri Shepherd, and his "girlfriend," portrayed by Ashleigh Murray, he begins to navigate his new reality. Inheriting his father's house and a pile of massive unpaid bills, he decides to rent out rooms. This leads to an encounter with a mysterious and unsettling stranger, played brilliantly by Mike Manning, who teaches him how to fight back.

A thrilling LGBTQ+ film that delivers both excitement and tension, bolstered by strong performances from the cast. On the surface, it's a sexy and engaging thriller, but what truly sets it apart are the deeper themes interwoven into the narrative, exploring complex issues and emotional depths that resonate beyond the immediate plot. The script is solid, with sharp dialogue and well-developed characters, even though the "big twist" might be predictable for some viewers. Despite that minor flaw, the film remains a well-crafted and compelling thriller. It's an engaging and thought-provoking movie that I definitely recommend giving a chance!
