Video: Funnyman Owen Wilson’s new action thriller ‘No Escape’ looks pretty heavy

Owen Wilson - he's a funny guy...

We loved him in Zoolander as p*sstake male fashionista Hansel and his antics in Wedding Crashers tickled our ribs. But the trailer for his new film No Escape isn't funny at all - in fact we didn't even laugh once. We didn't know what was happening until we read that it's actually an action thriller - it looks bloody good too. The basic story is that his character Jack moves out to Asia with his young family...then s**t hits the fan. He finds himself in the middle of a violent uprising in the city and a mob of vigilantes is executing all foreigners. They have to escape the armed rebels with the help of ex-pat Hammond (played by Piers Brosnan). No laughing matter indeed. The thriller comes out in cinemas in the UK on September 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8f4P_EKtiI&feature=youtu.be
