'Exit Plan': Film Review – 'a handsome, well-acted cipher that offers the pleasures as well as the frustrations of a high-end puzzle designed to be unsolvable'
“Exit Plan” has been retitled from “Suicide Tourist” for its U.S. release, and while the original monicker was certainly punchier, the new one perhaps better captures the gist of a movie that’s ultimately a little too polite and vague to make much of its intriguing premise.and writer Rasmus Birch, it is another enigmatic, aesthetically precise toying with genre material — this time more kinda-sorta sci-fi than the quasi-horror of 2014’s “When Animals Dream.
All glass, steel and concrete, the impressively sleek facility is designed to cater to every parting-wish need, though the means by which they’re fulfilled are a little murky — drugs, advanced technology, maybe even a little supernatural hoodoo are involved. With suggestions that there’s something sinister behind the curtain of tasteful hedonism, the stage is set here for a shocking revelation, a fantastical leap, a spiritual awakening, maybe all of the above.
Elements here, not least the “guests’” striped pajamas , suggest this narrative is meant not to be taken literally, but as metaphor. Either way, however, it’s too cloudy to surrender much meaning, and the aura of mystery is insufficiently potent in itself.
